6. The area of a rectangle can be represented by the expression x2 - 7x - 18. If the length is represented by the expression (x + 2), what is the width in centimeter? Write your answer in a
complete sentence.

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
