(2x-2)(x+4) can be simplified by using the FOIL method:
2x^2 + 8x - 2x - 8 = 2x^2 + 6x - 8
Therefore, the simplified polynomial expression in standard form to represent the area of the rectangle is 2x^2 + 6x - 8. Answer: $\boxed{2x^2 +6x-8}$.
Write a simplified polynomial expression in standard form to represent the area of the rectangle below:
A picture of a rectangle is shown with one side labeled as 2 x minus 2 and another side labeled as x plus 4.
2x2 + 3x − 20
2x2 + 13x − 1
2x2 + 13x − 20
2x2 + 3x − 1
