Answer:

The answer is option B

Explanation:

The figure above is a rectangle

Area of a rectangle = length × width

From the question

The total length of the rectangle = 3x

The total width of the rectangle = 4x + 5

So the area of the figure is

A = 3x( 4x + 5)

Expand

We have the final answer as

A = 12x² + 15x

Hope this helps you
