Arectangle has side lengths of x + 3 and 2 – x. find an expression that describes the area of the rectangle.

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the lengths of both the sides (length and width).

Multiplying these 2 will give us the expression for the area of the rectangle (we use distributive property given by   in this problem to multiply)

Area =

Now combining like terms and rearranging, we have:

Answer choice D is right.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
