A.4x2 + 32x + 48 = 0
B.4x2 + 28x − 112 = 0
C. 2x2 + 32x − 112 = 0

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Area of rectangle = length * width

length * width = 160 square inches

(2x + 8) (2x +6) =160 {Use FOIL method}

(2x*2x) + (2x*6) + (8*2x) + (8*6) = 160

4x² + 12x + 16x + 48 = 160 {Add the like terms}

4x² + 28x + 48 -160 = 0

4x² + 28x - 112 = 0
