Question

The length of rectangle PQRS is expressed as 2x+7. The width of rectangle PQRS is expressed as 3x−4. Which expression describes the area of rectangle PQRS?
A.6x^2
B.6x^2-29x-28
C.6x^2-15
D.6x^2+13x-28

Answer 1

Answer:

$area = length \times width \\ = (2x + 7)(3x - 4) \\ = (6 {x}^{2} - 8x + 21x - 28) \\ = (6 {x}^{2} + 13x - 28) \: sq \: units$
