A rectangular vegetable garden will have a width that is 2 feet less than the length, and an area of 48 square feet. If x represents the length, then the length can be found by solving the equation:

$\displaystyle{x}{\left({x}-{2}\right)}={48}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$

What is the length, x, of the garden?

The length is _____ feet.
