Talia has a square bedroom. Her family is moving and her bedroom in her new apartment will be 3 feet shorter in one direction an
d 5 feet longer in the other direction. Write an expression that represents the two binomials you would multiply together to find the area of Talia's new bedroom.
The answer should be (x-3)•(y+5). (X minus 3 times y plus 5). X will be one length and y will be the other length. Because one length (x) is shorter you would subtract 3 from x. And because the other length (y) will become longer you’ll add 5. And when you multiply all of that you’ll get the area
