what are its dimensions?Thanks again!......
Hi, could someone help me with these and PLEASE guide me through the steps as to how you got the answer. Thank you!

1) Factor: 18x^2+67x-63

2) The length of a rectangular pool is 6 feet less than twice the width. If the perimeter of the pool is 126 feet, what are its dimensions?

Thanks again!

18x^2 +67x -63

COEFFICIENT OF x^2 = +18

( +18) ( -63) = -1134

FIND FACTORS OF -1134 WHICH ADD UP TO +67 ( COEFFICIENT OF x )

( +81) ( -14) = - 1134

18x^2 +81x -14x -63

9x ( 2x +9) -7( 2x +9)

( 9x- 7) ( 2x +9) ANSWER

2) Perimeter = 2 ( length + width)

126 = 2( length + width )

63 = length + width

Let the width be x ft

Length = 2x -6

Length + width = 2x -6 + x = 63

3x -6= 63

3x = 69

x = 23

Width = 23' Length = 40ft ANSWER
