Problem 6

A landscaper models the area (in units of square meters) of a rectangular flower bed as: A(x)=x2+5x+6A(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6, where xx is a side-length adjustment in units of meters. Factor A(x)A(x) to find expressions for the possible integer side lengths (in units of meters) and write the final results in terms of xx.
