Question

Find the area of area of a rectangle with with sides 8 + 2x and 3+ x.

Answer 1

Area = 2x^2 + 14x + 24

Explanation:

You could set up an expression (2x + 8) * (x + 3), where you multiply 2x by x, 2x by 3, 8 by x, 8 by 3, and then add them all up. 2x * x = 2x^2, 2x * 3 = 6x, 8 * x = 8x, and 8 * 3 = 24. 2x^2 + 6x + 8x + 24 = 2x^2 + 14x + 24, so that is your answer.
