Question 779716: The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula V = lwh. What are the general dimensions of the prism if the volume is 6x3 +9x2 - 6x? You will not have an exact dimension but rather an expression that represents them.
Just factor into three factors. There are three different but all perfectly acceptable answers to the question posed depending on which of the three factors retains the common factor of 3.
Hint: Take out either or to start, and then factor the resulting quadratic.
