8x2 + 54x + 27
12x2 - 27
8x2 + 60x - 27
12x2 + 48x - 27

Answer 1

Answer:

I think is 12x2 +48x-27 but I'm confused

Answer 2

Answer:

$A=12x^2+48x-27$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Rectangle

The image shows a rectangular vegetable garden with different crops.

The rectangle has a length of L=2x+9 yards and a width of W=6x-3 yards.

The area of a rectangle is:

A = WL

$A=(2x+9)(6x-3)$

Operating:

$A=2x(6x)-2x(3)+9(6x)-9(3)$

$A=12x^2-6x+54x-27$

Simplifying:

$\boxed{A=12x^2+48x-27}$
