The width of a rectangle is 13 inches less than 4 times the length. If X represents the length, write an algebriac expression in terms of X that represents the area of the rectangle and simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let length be x
\n" ); document.write( "Then width = 4x-13
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Area = length*width = x(4x-13) = 4x^2-13x
