Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + x - 6 = rectangular garden: length = 2x – 3 feet; width = x + 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 3)(x + 2) = 2x^2 + x - 6 =

2x^2 + 4x - 3x - 6 = 2x^2 + x - 6 =

2x^2 + x - 6

You get the original equation from the two sides multiplied. :)

Hope this helps, have a good day.
