Question

Simplify an expression for the area of the rectangle shown below
L=4
W=8x-2

Answer 1

A = 32x - 8

Explanation:

the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = L × W ( L is the length and W the width )

here L = 4 and W = 8x - 2 , then

A = 4(8x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis by 4

= 32x - 8
