The area formula for a rectangle = Length x Width Let length = L and width = W. We also know that the length is 3 yards longer than twice it's width. SO this means L = 3 PLUS 2 times W L = 3 + 2W Now plug that into the area formula and we get: Area = (3 + 2W) x W You'll need to multiply everything in the brackets by W. So what would (3 + 2W)x W = ?
