Question

The length of the rectangle below is (2x-3) and the width is (x+7). Find the area of the rectangle in terms of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

area = 2x² - 17x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle is:

area = (width*length)

area = (x+7)*(2x-3)

        = x*2x + x*-3 + 7*2x + 7*-3

        = 2x² - 3x - 14x - 21

        = 2x² - 17x - 21
