If a rectangle is (x+2) wide and (x-7) in length, the area of the rectangle is?

x² - 5x - 14

Step-by-step explanation: Start with the formula for the area of a rectangle.

Area = length x width

To multiply these two binomials, let's use the F.O.I.L. method.

The product of the first terms is x².

The product of the outer terms is -7x.

The product of the inner terms is 2x.

The product of the last terms is -14.

So we have x² - 7x + 2x - 14 which simplifies to x² - 5x - 14.

answer: add the !
