Length = 13 = (x + 3)
Width = 14 = (x + 4)
x2 + 7x + 12 = area of the rectangle
can be factored into
(x + 3)(x + 4)
Let L = one of the factors (x + 3)
Let W = the other factor (x + 4)
If x = 10 then
(10 + 3) = 13 = L
(10 + 4) = 14 = W
Checking this can be checked a couple of ways
Plug x = 10 into the original equation
x2 + 7x + 12
102 + 7(10) 12 = 100 + 70 + 12 = 182 = Area
Multiplty the factors
L x W = 13 x 14 = 182 = Area
