Answer 1

14x² - 25x + 6

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is denoted by: A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width.

Here, the length is 7x - 2 and the width is 2x - 3, so plug these in:

A = lw

A = (7x - 2)(2x - 3)

We have to use FOIL (first, outer, inner, last):

(7x - 2)(2x - 3) = (7x)(2x) + (7x)(-3) + (-2)(2x) + (-2)(-3) = 14x² -21x - 4x + 6

The answer is thus 14x² - 25x + 6.

Answer 2

14(x^2) - 25x + 6

Explanation:

Area of rectangle = length * width

length = 7x - 2

width = 2x - 3

(7x - 2) (2x - 3) =

14(x^2) - 25x + 6
