Answer:    3x-1    Step-by-step explanation:   Let the area of the mint section = Length * Width  Given  Area = 6x²-2x  Length  Required  Width    A = LW  Substitute  6x²-2x = 2x(W)  2x(3x-1) = 2xW  Divide both sides by 2x  2x(3x-1)/2x = 2xW/2x  3x-1 = W  W = 3x-1   Hence the width of the mint section is 3x-1
