the completed equivalent form of the quadratic expression is choose... . this equivalent form represents choose... of the blanket. the width of the blanket is choose... and the length is choose... the width.

Explanation:

Answer:

Equivalent Form: $x(x + 4)$
The completed equivalent form of the quadratic expression is $x(x + 4)$. This equivalent form represents the area of the blanket. The width of the blanket is $x$ feet and the length is 4 feet greater than the width.
