Erik and John both threw a ball from the same spot. John threw the ball 6 feet farther than Erik. Nick picked up John's ball, turned 90°, and threw the ball 2 feet farther than John. After estimating the product of the distance of John's throw and the distance of Nick's throw, the boys found that the product was at least 63 square feet.
If x represents the distance that Erik threw the ball, what would the equation be?
