Hi!
Your answer is 
We are asked to find the floor space it covers, which we can solve for by finding the area of the rectangular rug, given its dimensions.
<u>Dimensions:</u>
(x - 2) x (x + 3)
<u>Area of a rectangle:</u>
Length x Width = Area
Plug dimensions into the formula:

Use the Distributive Property and FOIL method to solve <em>(if you are not familiar with the FOIL method, see the image attached below)</em>:

Combine like terms:

<em>Now, this isn't a numerical value, but as we do not know the value of x, this is the simplest answer we can get.</em>
