Question

Write two equivalent expressions to represent the area of this rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

The two expression to represent area  is (5 x  - 10)  sq. units   or  5( x- 2) sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the length of the rectangle  = (x-2) units

The width of the rectangle  = 5 units

Now, AREA OF A RECTANGLE  = LENGTH x WIDTH

So, here AREA  =  5 ( x- 2)

                          =  (5 x  - 10)  sq. units  

( as by Distributive property: A (B-C) = AB - AC)

Hence, the two expression to represent area  is (5 x  - 10)  sq. units   or  5( x- 2) sq. units
