- The equation :
Area = length x width
- Substitute the values in :
Area = (x - 5)(x - 5 + 22)
(Note : the 'x' is for the algebraic expression x in the example above)
- Now you have to simplify the second parenthesis:
Area = (x - 5)(x + 17)
- Now expand :
Area = x^2 + 17x - 5x - 85
- Simplify by collecting like terms :
Area = x^2 + 12x - 85
(Note : x^2 means x squared)
Now you have your answer as:
x^2 + 12x - 85 feet^2
