If a rectangle has a length of (x + 3) and a width of (x - 2), what is its area?
- A 2x + 1
- B X^2 + x - 6
- C X^2 + 5x - 6
- D 2x + 6
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Imagine a rectangle with sides that have unknown lengths (represented by "x"). To find the area, we multiply the length and width. So, we multiply (x + 3) and (x - 2). This involves some careful expansion (like FOILing), and after combining terms, we get the area: x^2 + x - 6.
