A rectangular field has a width of w meters. The length of the field is 2 meters less than 5 times the width. Write an expression that represents the area of the rectangle.
Width = w
Length = 5w - 2
Area of rectangle is: Area = length times width
The expression that represents your area for this rectangle is:
A = (5w - 2)(w)
