Answer:

D


Step-by-step explanation:

We find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the lengths of both the sides <em>(length and width).</em>

  • One side given is x+3
  • Another side given is 2-x

Multiplying these 2 will give us the expression for the area of the rectangle <em>(we use distributive property given by  a(b+c)=ab+ac in this problem to multiply)</em>

Area = (x+3)(2-x)\\=2x-x^2+6-3x

<em>Now combining like terms and rearranging, we have:</em>

<em>2x-x^2+6-3x\\=-x-x^2+6\\=-x^2-x+6</em>


Answer choice D is right.

on the first day of a trip, Ricky drove 800 miles in 20 hours. At that rate, how many miles did he drive in 1 hour?
mr Goodwill [35]

We are trying to find miles/hour, which shows that we are going to be dividing the total number of miles by the total number of hours. Thus, in this case, the miles/hour rate will be:

\dfrac{800 \,\textrm{miles}}{20 \,\textrm{hours}} = 40 \dfrac{\textrm{miles}}{\textrm{hour}}


He drove 40 miles in one hour.
