Question

Use your equivalent expression to find the area of Brian's garden, in square feet, if x = 3 and y = 4. 3 points Part A: The area of Brian's rectangular garden, in square feet, can be found by using the expression 6(2x + 5y). Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression for the ares of Brian's garden.

Answer 1

156 square feet

Explanation:

The area of Brian's rectangular garden, in square feet, can be found by using the expression 6(2x + 5y).

If x = 3 and y = 4

Substituting

6(2 × 3 + 5 ×4) square feet

6(6 + 20) square feet

Using Distributive property

6(6 + 20) square feet =( 6 × 6) + (6 × 20) square feet

6(6 + 20) square feet =(36+ 120) square feet

6(6 + 20) square feet = 156 square feet

Therefore, the area of Brian's rectangular garden, in square feet is 156 square feet
