Question

A rectangular window has a length that is 5 inches more than its width. If the width is (2x-1), which expression represents the area of the window?

Answer 1

Expression for the area of the window is 4x² + 6x - 4

Explanation:

• Step 1: Given width of the window = 2x - 1. So, length = (2x-1) + 5 = 2x + 4. Find area of the window.

Area of the window = length × width

= (2x + 4) × (2x - 1)

= 4x² - 2x + 8x - 4

= 4x² + 6x - 4
