Answer: D) 24 = w^2 + 2w

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a rectangle (A) = length (L) x width (w)

Since:

Length = w+2

Substituting: L =w+2 in the formula:

A = (w+2) w

Replacing with the value given:

24 = (w+2)w

Applying distributive property:

24 = w^2 + 2w
