What the hel you expect us to do all that for 5 kids points? Go ask you mom to do that for you. If you're asking US to do that, then it has to be 40 or 50 points.
Area of Rectangle = length times width
lets say length = 2x-4
width = x+5
Note: you can switch these around, width could be 2x-4 and length could be x+5, it doesnt matter.
With that being said:
length * width = area
(2x-4)(x+5)=area
FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)

Simplify:
The answer is 15/100 x 45 =6.75 minutes <span />
