Question 1066925: The figures below are rectangles. What polynomial in standard form represents the area of the shaded region?
The image consists of a smaller rectangle drawn inside a larger rectangle. The smaller rectangle has a length of (x + 1) units and breadth of (x - 4) units. The larger rectangle has a breadth of (x - 1) units and a length of (x + 5) units.

I can't see the image, but I suspect the shaded area is not in the smaller rectangle but is contained in the larger.
A larger-A smaller= A shaded
(x-1)(x+5)-(x+1)(x-4)=x^2+4x-5-(x^2-3x-4)=7x-1 units ANSWER.
