Question 719112: The length of a rectangle is given by the polynomial (2x + 5) . If the width of this rectangle is(5x - 3) , what is the area of this rectangle? Answer by jsmallt9(3758) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The area of the triangle is length times width. So just multiply:
(2x+5)(5x-3)
Use FOIL. You won't get a number. You'll get an expression with and x in it but that will be the answer to the problem.
