Question

The length of a rectangle is (3x - 5) inches, and its width is 2x inches. Find the area of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

6x^2 - 10x  inches ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

    = (3x-5) * (2x)

    = 6x^2 - 10x

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 6x^2(squared)-10x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of rectangles, you must multiply the length by the width. The formst for this is A=LxW. When you substitute each part of the equation in, it becomes 2x(3x-5). When you have parentheses, distribute the number on the outside to each number(or variable) on the inside. First, multiply 2x by 3x. This leaves you with 6x^2(squared). Then, multiply the 2x by the -5. This leaves you with -10x. Combine each part to get 6x^2(squared)-10x. :)
