Question

The length of a rectangle is (5x+1) inches. The width is (x). Express the area of the

checkerboard in terms of the variable x. Use the formula: A = L-W
14.

Answer 1

Answer: A = 7x

Explanation:

Area = Length x Width

A = L * W

L = 5x + 1 W = x

Plug the length and width into the equation for area.

A = (5x + 1) * x

A = 6x + x

A = 7x
