Answer:
The answer to your question is 13x² - 14x
Explanation:
Process
1.- Divide the figure in to sections to get to rectangles (see the picture below)
2.- Get the area of each rectangle
3.- Add the areas
2.- Area of a rectangle = base x height
Rectangle 1
Area 1 = (3x - 7) (x)
= 3x² - 7x
Rectangle 2
Area 2 = (5x + 2)(2x)
= 10x² + 4x
3.- Total area
Area = (3x² - 7x) + (10x² - 7x)
= 13x² - 14x
