whats the answer to this equation:

4+8x+2.2-10x

if the lenght of a rectangle is 7 inches and the width is (x+2) inches. write an expression in simplest form that represents the area of a rectangle?

1 answer

4+8x+2.2-10x
use the commutative property of addition to rearrange things a bit:

4+2.2 + 8x-10x

for the rectangle, area = width * length, so it would be

7(x+2)
