Note: Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided. A rectangle is shown wi
th length x plus 10 and width 2 x plus 5. The inside of the rectangle is shaded other than an unshaded square with length x plus 1 and width x plus 1. Write an expression for the area of the shaded region in its simplest form. Show all of your steps.
Since the area of a rectangle is: A = l x w, where l = length and w = width, we can find the overall area of the shaded region by multiplying the entire area and subtracting the smaller area of the unshaded square:
