Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 + 5x + 4  (the area of the rectangle)

 

x + 2   (the length of one side)

 

(x2 + 5x + 4)/(x + 2)

 

do a division of this polynomial and you get;    (x + 3) - 2/(x+2), you could leave the answer like this or you could simplify by using the LCM method

 

= [(x+2)(x+3) - 2]/(x + 2)

 

checking; (x + 2)*[(x+2)(x+3) - 2]/(x + 2) = (x+2)(x+3) - 2 = x2 +5x + 6 - 2 = x2 +5x + 4 (proven)
