We don't have any numbers here to do calculations, so probably this is just an exercise in FACTORING. Also to practice that area is length times width.

The area given,

30 + 12x

can be factored several ways to be able to fill in the table.

This kind of factoring is like "un-distributive property" where a common factor can be factored out of the expression. Usually its helpful to factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) but in this case any common factor will do.

Also, unless there are more directions, either factor may be the length or the width.

2(15+6x)

3(10+4x)

6(5+2x)
