Question

The length of a rectangle is (3x − 5) inches, and its width is 2x inches. Find the area of the rectangle.

Hint: Area of a rectangle = length × width.



The area of the rectangle is 6x^2 - 10 6x^2 - 10x 5x^2 - 7 5x^2 - 7x square inches.

Answer 1

To solve this you would distribute `3x-5` into `2x`.

\(\Large\bf{(3x-5)(2x) \rightarrow (3x \times 2x + (-5 \times 2x))}\)

Simplify.
