Answer:

L = (6u + 5)m ; W = (2u-3)m

Explanation:

Given;

Area of the rectangular vegetable garden, A = (12u² - 8u - 15)m²

Let the length of the rectangular vegetable garden = L

Let the width of the rectangular vegetable garden = W

A = L x W

Factorize the given area;

= 12u² - 8u - 15

= 12u² -18u + 10u - 15

= 6u(2u - 3) + 5(2u - 3)

= (6u + 5)(2u-3)

Thus, L = (6u + 5)m and W = (2u-3)m

Option B, is the right solution, although it was wrongly typed.
