Answer:

The area is 2,600 cm^2

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of its sides

And the difference between both areas is 1,400 cm^2 (P-Q)

Thus, we have it that;

40(3x-10) - (30(x + 15)) = 1,400

120x - 400 - 30x - 450 = 1400

120x -30x -400-450 = 1400

90x - 850 = 1400

90x = 1400 + 850

90x = 2,250

x = 2,250/90

x = 25

The area for painting P

is;

40 (3x - 10)

Substituting the value 25 for x

we have

40 ( 3(25) -10)

= 40(75-10)

40 * 65 = 2,600 cm^2
