OpenStudy (anonymous):

u there?

OpenStudy (lynfran):

we can factor the expression to get the answer..\[x ^{2}+5x-6\]\[x ^{2}-x+6x-6\]\[x(x-1)+6(x-1)\]\[(x+6)(x-1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it (x - 5) units

OpenStudy (lynfran):

no when we multiply back we must get the given area of rectangle formula width*length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so which is it

OpenStudy (lynfran):

the factored expression about has the answer of the width and its length..

OpenStudy (lynfran):

(x+6)=width (?)= length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk which is it

OpenStudy (lynfran):

(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u sure?

OpenStudy (lynfran):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (lynfran):

let me show u.. area of the retangle =width * length = (x+6)(x-1) when multiply we get x*x+x*(-1)+6*x+6*(-1) x^2-x+6x-6 x^2+5x-6

lyn can u come to my new # plz? i tagged u
