Answer:
24x^2+20x+4
Explanation:
Area is length times width.
The length is (8x+4) and the width is (3x+1).
If we follow the formula for the area of a rectangle, then it would be
(8x+4)(3x+1).
Next, you would foil.
Take the first and multiply it by the second equation as follows
8x*3x+8x*1 which would give you
24x^2+8x
Then, you would take the second from the first equation and multiply it with the second equation as well.
4*3x+4*1 which would give you
12x+4
Combine all of it together
24x^2+8x+12x+4
Combine like terms
24x^2+20x+4
That's the area.
Hope this helps.
