Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $x^2 + 3x - 88$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = $length (l) * width (w)$

Length of rectangle = (x - 8)

Width = (x + 11)

Area of rectangle = $(x - 8)(x + 11)$

Expand the expression

$x(x + 11) -8(x + 11)$ (distributive property of multiplication)

$x^2 + 11x - 8x - 88$

Combine like terms

$x^2 + 3x - 88$

Expression for the area of the rectangle = $x^2 + 3x - 88$
