Josephine has a rectangular garden with an area of 2x2 + x - 6 square feet

Which expressions can represent the length and width of the garden?

length = x2 - 3 feet; width = 2 feet

length = 2x + 3 feet; width = x - 2 feet

length = 2x + 2 feet; width = x - 3 feet

length = 2x - 3 feet; width = x + 2 feet
