A rectangular field is x meters long. It’s width is 32 meters shorter than its length. What is the area of the field?m

Question

math word pomblem please help

Answer 1

since the long side is x meters, the width is x-32 m the area is long x width = x(x-32)m^2

or x^2-32x m^2

since the long side is not given, it should be x>32 m, otherwise there is no solution.
