Answer:
Option (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle = Length × width
Area of large rectangle = (3x - 1)(3x + 7) square units
= (9x² + 21x - 3x - 7)
= 9x² + 18x - 7
Area of small rectangle = (2x + 5)x
= (2x² + 5x) square units
Area of the shaded region = Area of large rectangle - Area of small rectangle
= (9x²+ 18x - 7) - (2x² + 5x)
= (9x² - 2x²) + (18x - 5x) - 7
= (7x² + 13x - 7) square units
Therefore, Option (D) will be the correct option.
