To find the area of the storage facility, we need to multiply the length and width.
Length = 4x - 3
Width = 2x + 5
Area = Length * Width
Area = (4x - 3)(2x + 5)
Area = 8x^2 + 20x - 6x - 15
Area = 8x^2 + 14x - 15
Therefore, the expression that represents the area of the storage facility is C. 8x^2 + 14x - 15.
A diagram shows the floor plan for a rectangular storage facility.
