If you would like to know the dimensions of the garden, you can calculate this using the following steps:

length ... (2 * x - 4) feet
width ... x feet
area ... 170 ft^2

area = length * width
170 = (2 * x - 4) * x
170 = 2 * x * x - 4 * x
170 = 2 * x^2 - 4 * x
0 = 2 * x^2 - 4 * x - 170     /2
0 = x^2 - 2 * x - 85
1. x = 1 - sqrt(86) = -8.27
2. x = 1 + sqrt(86) = 10.27

length: 2 * x - 4 = 2 * 10.27 - 4 = 16.54 feet
width: x = 10.27 feet

The dimensions of the garden are 16.54 feet and 10.27 feet.

Let's see if we can't be logical here......Pick a formula and see what it yields. For example, choose D.

For n = 1 ---> -1 x 4^1 ----> -1 x 4 = -4, when the correct value is 1. Therefore D is out.

Try C. For n = 1 ---> 1 x 4^(1-1) ---> 1 x 4^0 ----> 1 x1 ---> 1, So it is correct for n =1. How about
n=2? 1 x 4^(2-1) = 1 x 4^1 = 1 x 4 = 4, when the correct answer is -4. Therefore C is out

I'm sure you can do the remaining two choices....
