Answer:
2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
=(2)(x)+(2)(−6)+(2)(8)
=2x+−12+16
Combine Like Terms:
=2x+−12+16
=(2x)+(−12+16)
=2x+4
Answer:
6x^2+17x+9
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to subtract the area of the white rectangle from the area of the entire rectangle
to find the area of the inner rectangle do (2x-3)*(x+1)=2x^2-3x+2x-3=2x^2-x-3
to find the area of the entire rectangle do (4x+6)*(2x+1)=8x^2+12x+4x+6=8x^2+16x+6
(8x^2+16x+6)-(2x^2-x-3)=8x^2+16x+6-2x^2+x+3=6x^2+17x+9
