X= "a certain number of inches"

side a= x-3
side b= 2 inches

multiply:
Area= a(b)
A= (x-3)2
A= 2(x-3)

distribute:
A= 2(x-3)
A= (2*x) + (2*-3)
A= 2x-6


Area= 2(x-3)
Area= 2x-6

Verbal Answers: The area of the rectangle is equal to the multiple of its two sides this is equal to two inches times an expression three less than a certain number "x"<span>. Using the distributive property, we can solve this expression further to find that the area of this rectangle is also equal to six less than doubling a certain number x</span>.

Hope this helped! :)
