The rectangle below has an area of x^2-25x 2 −25 square meters and a length of x+5x+5 meters. what expression represents the width of the rectangle?

 x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the area of the rectangle =

Length of the rectangle = x+5

Let the width of the rectangle = b

Thus, the area of the rectangle =

⇒

⇒  

⇒

Therefore, the expression that shows the width of the rectangle = x-5
