Question

Fred is given a rectangular piece of paper. If the length of Fred's piece of paper is represented by 2x -6 and the width is represented by 3x -5, then the paper has a total area represented by?

Answer 1

The area would be length times width

Explanation:

`A=(2x-6)(3x-5)`

Work this out by FOIL:
`A=2x*3x+2x*(-5)+(-6) * 3x+(-6)*(-5)`
`A=6x^2-10x-18x+30`

`A=6x^2-28x+30`

Note : for this to be a real piece of paper `x>3`
