a) Shawn's error was that he Multiplied 15 by 2x only. He didn't Multiply 15 by 7
b) The difference, in square feet, between the actual area of Shawn’s garden and the area found using his expression is given as 98 square feet
<h3>What is the perimeter?</h3>
The perimeter is defined as the sum of all the sides of the figure. Now we have The area in, square feet, of Shawn’s garden is found be calculating 15(2x + 7). Shawn incorrectly says the area can also be found using the expression 30x + 7.
The correct area =15(2x + 7).
= 30x + 105 square feet
The error in Shawn’s expression is
= 15(2x + 7)
= 30x + 7 square feet
Shawn's error was that he Multiplied 15 by 2x only. He didn't Multiply 15 by 7
The difference, in square feet, between the actual area of Shawn’s garden and the area found using his expression is given as
30x + 105 square feet - 30x + 7 square feet
= 30x + 105 - (30x + 7)
= 30x - 30x + 105 - 7
= 98 square feet
