Question

A park meadow is planted with wildflowers. The Parks Department plans to extend the length of the rectangular meadow by x meters. Which expressions represent the total area, in square meters, after the meadow's length is increased? Select all that apply. 15. A 310 + x B 15.5(20x) C 20x + 15.5 D 15.5x + 310 E 15.5(20 + x) F 35.5 + x Ilse the distributi

Answer 1

We have the following:

The area would be the length by the width, but since x amount was added to the length, it would be like this

`\begin{gathered} A=w\cdot l \\ w=15.5 \\ l=20+x \end{gathered}`

replacing

`A=15.5\cdot(20+x)=310+15.5x`

Therefore, the answer is E and D
