The length of a rectangular garden is 6 m less than twice its breadth. If the area of the garden is 135 m² and the breadth is taken as xx metres, which of the following quadratic equations can be used to find xx? (a) x2−6x−135=0x^{2}-6x-135=0 (b) 2x2−6x+135=02x^{2}-6x+135=0 (c) 2x2−6x−135=02x^{2}-6x-135=0 (d) 2x2+6x−135=02x^{2}+6x-135=0
