To find the area of a rectangle with these dimensions, you first need to know the formula for finding the area of a rectangle. That formula is

Length x Width = Area

Now substitute the dimensions you are given in the above formula:

(3x + 5) x (6)

Multiply 6 by 3x + 5, which will give you the area:

Area = 18x + 30
