Question

A=lw
3x^3= length and 2x^4= width
I got 86 is this correct find the area of a rectangle

Answer 1

It depends on what x is

Answer 2

6x^7 ??

Answer 3

yes 6x^7 is the area (length times width)

to get a number like 86, we need to put in a number for x

Answer 4

Here is what it says: " Using the formula A=lw, find the area of the rectangle. 3x^3 and 2x^4. Find the area? so Imultiplied the length and width including the exponents and this is how I got 86.

Answer 5

I still can't figure out how your getting 86 ???

Answer 6

6x^7 = 279936

Answer 7

when you multiply 3x^3 times 2x^4 you cannot get a nice number.

you can multiply 3*2 to get 6
x^3 means x*x*x
x^4 means x*x*x*x
multiply them, you get: x*x*x*x*x*x*x
which is abbreviated x^7
the answer is
6*x^7 or just 6x^7

Answer 8

3x * 2x = 6x
x^3 * x^4 = x^7
put them together and you get 6x^7

Answer 9

oops...3 * 2 = 6

Answer 10

no 3^3 means 3*3*3
3x^3 means 3*x*x*x

the answer will have x's

Answer 11

3* x^3 * 2* x^4

you can change the order of the multiplies to
3*2* x^3 * x^4

you can simplify 3*2 to just 6
6 * x^3 * x^4

and as shown above, you can simplify x^3 * x^4 to x^7
6 * x^7

normally, you don't bother to show the multiply (the * here) and write this as
6x^7

which is short for
6*x*x*x*x*x*x*x

Answer 12

thank you so much!
