Answer:
Option A. x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3
Width (W) = x – 1
Lenght (L) =?
The area of a rectangle is given by:
Area (A) = length (L) × Width (W)
A = L × W
With the above formula, we can obtain the lenght of the rectangle as follow:
Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3
Width (W) = x – 1
Lenght (L) =?
A = L × W
(x² + 2x – 3) = L(x – 1)
Divide both side by (x – 1)
L = (x² + 2x – 3) / (x – 1)
Please see attached photo for explanation
L = x + 3
Thus, the length of the rectangle is x + 3
