Which equation and solution correctly represent x, thelength, in meters, of the rectangular garden bed?1.5 mCarrotsArea = 6 m1.5 + 6 = 31.5 x 6 = 3= 92 +1.5 = 6= 4.51.5.x = 62 = 42= 7.5

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is given by:

`\begin{gathered} A=w\cdot l \\ \text{Where:} \\ w=\text{width}=1.5 \\ l=\text{length}=x \\ A=6m^2 \\ 6=1.5\cdot x \\ \end{gathered}`
