Question

Which statement is true?

Answer 1

The correct statement is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

For backyard

Length = 5x-2

Width = 2x+4

For house

Length = 5x-2

Width = 4x-12

For driveway

Length = x+10

Width = 4x-12

To find the correct statement.

Formula

The area of a rectangle = Length × Width

So,

The area of the house and the driveway = (5x-2)(4x-12) + (x+10)(4x-12)

= (4x-12)(5x-2+x+10)

= (4x-12)(6x+8)

=$24x^{2} +32x-72x-96$

= $24x^{2} -40x-96$

So, the correct statement is D
