A Rectangle Has A Length Of 2x 1 And A Width Of 5x 4 Which Expression Best Describes The Area Of The Rectangle F 7x 3 H 10x2 3x 4 J 10x2 13x 4 G 14x 6 class=

Answer :

Answer:

H

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has a length of (2x + 1) and a width of (5x - 4).

And we want to select the expression that represents the rectangle's area.

Recall that a rectangle's area is simply its length multiplied by its width. Thus:

[tex]A=(2x+1)(5x-4)[/tex]

Expand by distributing:

[tex]A=(2x+1)(5x)+(2x+1)(-4)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]A=(10x^2+5x)+(-8x-4)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]A=10x^2-3x-4[/tex]

Hence, our answer is H.
