Question

Read the problem below. Type in your answer on the box.

The length of a rectangle is (3x - 1) and its width is ( 2x + 5). What is the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

30 INCHES

Explanation:

Answer 2

3x^2 + 13x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area, you multiply the length by width. So its is (3x - 1) * (2x + 5)

Then distribute. (3x * 2x) + (3x *5) + (-1 *2x) + (-1 * 5)

So 3x^2 + 15x -2x -5

Final Answer: 3x^2 + 13x - 5
