13. The area of the rectangle shown below is 2x2 - x - 15 square units. What is the width of the rectangle?
2x + 5

width = (x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - x - 15 has two factors, one of which is '2x + 5'

we can find the other factor to be 'x - 3', which represents the width

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
