Respuesta :

Since A=bh,

x^2 - 4x - 12 divided by x + 2 would be the width

you'll eventually get x  - 6

Answer: x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the answer, all you would need to do is utilize the equation

A = l x w. You would substitute A with [tex]x^{2} -4x-12[/tex] and l with x+2.

[tex]x^{2} -4x-12[/tex] = (x+2) (width)

Then you would divide both sides by x+2 to isolate the width.

[tex]\frac{x^{2}-4x-12 }{x+2}[/tex] = width

And then simplify

[tex]\frac{(x+2)(x-6)}{x+2}[/tex] = width             Divide

x - 6 = width                       Answer
