Answer 3

if you cant see it let me know and ill try to draw it out here for you

Answer 4

alright, do you have your two different rectangles?

if so then area is length times width so easiest first is (2)(x+3)

Answer 6

so the area of the first is 2x+6. now for the second one

Answer 7

you know the length of the "red" line is 2 and there is an x on either side of that space so (4x)(x)

Answer 8

4x^2 is your answer there

Answer 9

now just add the two together so 4x^2+2x+6 would be your answer
