This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:

Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:


Thus a quadratic equation with 
Then


Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

To find the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to find the result.
The answer is b hope it helped
you cannot multiply any of the numbers above by another to get 12, the factors of 12 would be 1,2,3,4,6,12 1x12= 12 2x6=12 4x3=12
1.4 repeating?
3x+3=5x-10+7x
3x+3=12x-10
3=9x-10
13=9x
1.4 repeating=x
