Answer is A

If width is (w)

(5x-2)w= 15x^2-11x+2
(5x-2)w=(5x-2)(3x-1)
Thus, w=(3x-1)

Sally's rectangular pool has a length of (5x - 2) meters & an area of 15x^2 - 11x + 2 square meters. Which of the following equations express the width of sally's pool in term of x ?

(A) 3x-1
(B) 5x-2
(C) 5x+2
(D) 3x+1
(E) None of the above
\(15x^2 = 3x*5x\) Options (B) and (C) can be rejected as \(5x*5x = 25x^2\)

Now, check with (A),

\((5x - 2)(3x -1) = 15x^2 - 11x + 2\), Answer must be (A)
