I really need know what the problem is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area of a rectangular painting is given by the trinomial x2 – 5x – 36. What are the possible dimensions of the painting? Use factoring.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/ the area always has 2 dimensions 2/"Use factoring" is a hint, just factor the expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 -5x-36 = (x-9)(x+4) so, the possible dimensions is : width = (x-9) and length =(x+4) another possible is length = (x-9) and width = (x+4) done
