Problema Solution

you can represent the width of a certain rectangle with the expression x+2. The length of the rectangle is twice the width. what is the area of the rectangle

Answer provided by our tutors

Let x+2 = width

2(x+2) = 2x+4 = length

Area of a rectangle = length x width

A=(x+2)(2x+4)

A=2x^2+4x+4x+8

A=2x^2+8x+8

The area of the rectangle is 2x2+8x+8.
