Answer:

The expression for Area of rectangle is [tex]x^2+16x+63[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangle has a length that is 4 units longer than the width.

Let the width of the rectangle be 'x' Units.

Length of rectangle will be = [tex]x+4\ Units[/tex]

If the width is increased by 7 units.

New Width of the rectangle = [tex]x+7\ Units[/tex]

Also the length increased by 5 units,

New Length of rectangle will be = [tex]x+4+5 = x+9\ Units[/tex]

We need to write an equivalent expression for area of the rectangle.

Area of rectangle is given by length times width.

framing in expression form we get;

Area of rectangle = [tex](x+7)\times(x+9)[/tex]

On Solving the equation we get;

Area of rectangle = [tex]x^2+9x+7x+63=x^2+16x+63[/tex]

Hence the expression for Area of rectangle is [tex]x^2+16x+63[/tex].
