Question

Ryan planted flowers in a rectangular garden.The width of the garden is (x-3) feet and the length of the garden is 1 foot longer than the width. Write an expression for the area of the garden

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression representing Area of garden is$x^2-5x+6$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of garden = $x-3\ ft$

the length of the garden is 1 foot longer than the width

Hence length of garden = $x-3+1=x-2\ ft$

We need to find the expression for area of garden.

Area of rectangular garden can be calculated as length times width.

Framing in equation form we get;

Area of Garden = $(x-3)(x-2)$

Solving the equation we get;

Area of Garden =$x^2-2x-3x+6 = x^2-5x+6$

Hence The expression representing Area of garden is$x^2-5x+6$.
