Question

Given the area of 1 side of the tissue box is x^2+6x+9 given by the formula A = Length times width (A=lw), what is the length of the tissue box?

Answer 1

I don't even know... :0

Answer 2

x^2+6x+9=lw ?

Answer 3

This seems to be a factoring question, or so I think.

Answer 4

yeah, that's what im doing

Answer 5

but i don't know how to get the answer...):

Answer 6

What is the problem?

Answer 7

the question I posted

Answer 8

that's all I was given, haha

Answer 9

I meant to say if you were having difficulties factoring or what?

Answer 10

I don't even know how to start to solve this, how am I supposed to get the length??

Answer 11

The only other hint I can tell you is that the length and the width are the same.

Answer 12

I factored it already (x+3)(x+3) at least I think that's right...

Answer 13

(x+3)(x+3)=LW

Answer 14

Is that the answer that you're looking for?

Answer 15

OH GOT IT, L=(x+3) silly me

Answer 16

Good job
