total area of the living room.
A) 95x + 133y square feet B) 24x + 26y square feet C) 228(x + y) square feet D) 95x + 7y square feet

Answer 1

Option A. 95x + 133y square feet.

Explanation:

Area of a rectangular room = Length × Width

Length of the room = Length of carpeted portion + Length of the tiled portion

= (5x + 7y) feet

Width of the living room = 19 feet

Area of the living room = (5x + 7y) × 19

= 95x + 133y Square feet [By distributive property]

Therefore, expression for the total area of the living room is option (A).
