Write an expression for the area of the shaded region in its simplest form. Show all of your steps.
netineya [11]
The area of the shaded region is going to be the area of the rectangle minus the area of the square.

Area of a rectangle is L * W.
A = L * W
A = (x + 10)(2x + 5)
A = x(2x + 5) + 10(2x + 5)
A = 2x^2 + 5x + 20x + 50
A = 2x^2 + 25x + 50 .....this is the area of the rectangle

area of a square is : A = a^2...where a is one side
A = (x + 1)^2
A = (x + 1)(x + 1)
A = x(x + 1) + 1(x + 1)
A = x^2 + x + x + 1
A = x^2 + 2x + 1

now we subtract the area of the square from the area of the rectangle to get the area of the shaded region.

2x^2 + 25x + 50 - (x^2 + 2x + 1) =
2x^2 + 25x + 50 - x^2 - 2x - 1 =
x^2 + 23x + 49 <== the area of the shaded region
