Question 705936: Hello,
there is a rectangle and on the right side of the rectangle it says x+2 and on the top it says 2x-1. It wants me to write a simplified algebraic expression to represent the area of the rectangle. Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! there is a rectangle and on the right side of the rectangle it says x+2 and on the top it says 2x-1. It wants me to write a simplified algebraic expression to represent the area of the rectangle.
length is given as x+2
width is given as 2x-1
area = width * length
area = (2x-1)(x+2)
FOIL the right side:
area = 2x^2 + 4x -x -2
area = 2x^2+3x-2
