Question 403635
A gardener wants to create a rectangular garden with length of 3x - 3y ft. and width of x - 5y ft. What is an algebraic expression for the area of the garden? 
:
A = (3x - 3y)*(x - 5y)
FOIL
A = 3x^2 - 15xy - 3xy + 15y^2
Add like terms
A = 3x^2 - 18xy + 15y^2
Factor out 3
A = 3(x^2 - 6xy + 5y^2)
