Question 952267: The length of a rectangle is (3x − 5) inches, and its width is 2x inches. How do I find the area of the rectangle?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Multiply the length and width
Area = (length)*(Width)
Area = (3x-5)*(2x)
Area = 2x(3x-5)
Area = 6x^2 - 10x
