The area of a rectangle is 12x+15. the length of the rectangle is 6. what is the width of the rectangle

Given the area and the lngth, find the width by div. the area by 6:

              12x + 15       4x + 5
width = =
                    6                  2

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
