Question

18. Write an expression to represent the area of the shaded region in simplest form. Please help it's due tomorrow

Answer 1

Answer:

(x^2 + 2x - 21) sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of the larger rectangle - Area of smaller rectangle

Area of the larger region = x(x+2)

Area of the larger region =x^2 + 2x

Area of the smaller rectangle = 3 * 7

Area of the smaller rectangle = 21 sq. units

Area of the shaded region = x^2 + 2x - 21

Hence the required expression is (x^2 + 2x - 21) sq units
