Question #5c7ef

Answer 1

`x*(x-2)=x^2-2x`

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by `l*w`, where `l` is the length of the rectangle and `w` is the width of the rectangle. In other words, to find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width.

We are given the width of the rectangle (`x-2`) and the length of the rectangle (`x`). To find the area, we multiply these two values to get `x*(x-2)`.

We can use the distributive property to expand the expression: `x(x-2)=x*x-2*x=x^2-2x`.

Answer 2

`Area = L * W`

Explanation:

`L = x`
`W = x-2`

A good rule is when you substitute variables with numbers you put parenthesis around them

`Area = L * W`
`Area = (x)(x-2)`

Use distributive property and multiply the x into `(x-2)`

Therefore,
`Area = x^2-2x`
