Answer:I will not do it all. I will set it up for you.

Area = length times width

A = LW

(9x^2 + 6x - 3) = L(3x - 1)

To find L, divide both sides by (3x - 1) using long division.

After finding L, go back to A = LW but this time use the NEW AREA given to be (9x^2+ 12x+ 3).

Set Up:

(9x^2+ 12x+ 3) = LW

Step-by-step explanation:Note: Plug the L you found above into (9x^2+ 12x+ 3) = LW and then solve for W.

no hate this is the best answer i could find
