Answer:

14x²- 6x - 2

Explanation:

find the area of the entire rectangle and then subtract the area of the unshaded rectangle

Area of entire rectangle:

(3x-1)(5x+2) Use the FOIL method to get:

15x² + 6x - 5x - 2

combine 'like terms' to get:

15x² + x - 2

Area of unshaded rectangle:

x(x+7) = x² + 7x

Subtract:

15x² + x - 2

+ -x² - 7x + 0

14x²- 6x - 2
