Question

You are painting a rectangular tabletop. The length of the table top is 6 inches less than 3 times the

width. Let w represent the width. Which expression represents the area you are painting?
A. 3w2 - 6W
B. 6W - 3w2
C. 8W - 12
D. 4w - 6

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Let l represent length and w represent width

We know that l = 3w-6

(3w-6)(w) = the area

Use distributive property

`Area = 3w^2-6w`

A is the correct answer

Hope this helps :)
