Question

The length of a rectangular courtyard can be represented by (3x+5) and the width by (2x-3). Create an expression that represent the area of the courtyard. A= l times w

Answer 1

Given that,

Length of a rectangular courtyard = (3x+5)

Width of a rectangular courtyard = (2x-3)

To find,

The expression for area of the courtyard.

Solution,

The area of the rectangular shaped object is given by :

A = lb

Substituting all the values,

A = (3x+5) (2-3)

= (3x)(2)-(3x)(3)+(5)(2)-(5)(3)

= 6x-9x+10-15

= -3x-5

So, the area of the courtyard is (-3x-5).
