• Width = 1 inch, Length = 10 inches

• Width = 2 inches, Length = 10 inches

• Width = 3 inches, Length = 16 inches

The length of a rectangular poster is 2 more inches than two times its width. The area of the poster is 12 square inches. Solve for the dimensions (length and width) of the poster

• Length = 2, Width = 6

• Length = 6, Width = 2

• Length = 3, Width = 4

• Length = 4, Width = 3
