Question

The table shows the area of two words a preschool teacher has in her room she places the to work together to make one big world what is the area in the square units of the new rug

Answer 1

The area of the two rugs together is

`\text{Blue}+\text{ Red}`
`8(x+(1)/(2))+10(x+(2)/(5))`

We will expand it

`8x+4+10x+4`

Then we simplify

`18x+8`

In the factored form we have a common factor in this case 2, therefore the factored form is

`2(9x+4)`
