Answer:
x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle= length × breadth
In this question, one length is 5x + 3 and the area is 5x^2 + 23x + 12
This means that;
5x2 + 23x + 12 = 5x + 3 (b)
Hence, to get the other length (b) = 5x2 + 23x + 12/ 5x + 3
To get the other length, we can factorize the algebraic expression;
5x2 + 23x + 12
Product: 60x^2 (20x × 3x)
Sum: +23x (20x + 3x)
Hence;
= 5x^2 + 20x + 3x + 12
Next, we find factors;
5x (x+4) + 3 (x+4)
Therefore, the factors are (5x + 3) and (x +4)
This means that the other length is (x +4)
