Question 575236: a rectangle has a lengthof x inches and a width 2 inches less than the length. if the dimensions were tripled , what would be the area , A, of the new rectangle in terms of x?
A. A=3(X-2)
B. A=3X(X-2)
C. A=3(X+X-2)
D. A=3X(3X-6) Answer by chana(69) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a rectangle has a lengthof x inches and a width 2 inches less than the length. if the dimensions were tripled , what would be the area , A, of the new rectangle in terms of x?
sol :
originally when length = x
breadth = x - 2
after increase, length = 3x
breath = 3 * ( x -2)
so new area = 3x*(3x - 6)
