The school parking lot is 3x+2, by x+5. The area of the parking is what?

1 answer

To find the area of the parking lot, we need to multiply the length and width of the lot.

Length = 3x + 2
Width = x + 5

Area = Length x Width
Area = (3x + 2)(x + 5)
Area = 3x^2 + 15x + 2x + 10
Area = 3x^2 + 17x + 10

So, the area of the parking lot is 3x^2 + 17x + 10.
