The given area is


A=x^3+4x^2-11x-30

The length is


L=x^2-x-6

Since the rule of the area ofthe rectangle is


A=L* W

Then to find the width, divide the area b the length


\begin{gathered} W=(A)/(L) \\ \\ W=(x^3+4x^2-11x-30)/(x^2-x-6) \end{gathered}

We will just divide thefirst terms and thelst terms to find the answer


\begin{gathered} (x^3)/(x^2)=x \\ (-30)/(-6)=5 \end{gathered}

Then the width is


W=x+5

The answer is B
