Question 1169020: A square and a rectangle have the same area. The length of the rectangle is nine inches more than twice the length of the side of the square. The width of the rectangle is 6 inches less than the side of the square.
Which expression represents the area of the rectangle?
Since you didn't bother to define , I can't really answer the question. The area of a rectangle is the length times the width. Find an answer with two factors, one of which looks like two times the measure of a side of the square plus 9 and the other that looks like the measure of a side of the square minus 6.
