huh?
isn't area = length x width ?
so area = 8(6x+3)
= 48x + 24
Trying to figure out how you could possibly come up with 9x+8
A rectangle has a length of 6x+3 units and a width of 8 units.
Write a simplified expression for the area, in square units, of this rectangle.
So, my answer was 9x+8
please tell me is this correct...
Thank you

Not even close. The area is length * width, or
8(6x+3) = 48x+24
6x+3 is not 9x. Even if it were, 9x+8 would be half of the perimeter, not the area.
8(6x+3) = 48x+24
6x+3 is not 9x. Even if it were, 9x+8 would be half of the perimeter, not the area.
