To find the area of a rectangle with the dimensions 5 and n -3, John said that you can use the expression 5 (n-3). What is another expression that can be used to find the area of the rectangle?

Hello there!

I believe that the answer would just be expanding the expression given already.

5(n-3) = 5*n - 5*3 = 5n - 15

Hope this helped! :)
