Question

In the figure shown below, the area of the large rectangle is (5x)(8x + 1) and the area of

the small rectangle is (4x)(2x), which of the following expressions represents the area of
the shaded region?
HELP

Answer 1

ok so the shaded area will be the larger rectange minus the smaller one so lets find the area of both by multiplying the sides

(5x)(8x+1)=40x^2+5x

(4x)(2x)=8x^2

so

40x^2+5x-8x^2

32x^2+5x or

x(32x+5)

so a
