26. If the area of the rectangle shown below is given by the expression 3x + 7x - 6,

and the width is (x + 3), which of the following could represent the length?

A = (3x+2)

B = (x+2)

C = (3x-3)

D = (3x-2)

D = (3x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=length*width = 3x²+7x-6

thus a=3 b=7 c=-6

W = (x+3)

since c is - 6 it has to be the product of 3 (from W) = -2

since a=3 multiply by x (from W) 3*x=3x

=3x-2

check if its correct.

3x-2*x+3

x (3x-2) + 3 (3x-2)

3x²-2x+9x-6

3x²+7x-6 thus its true
