Marissa is painting her rectangular patio, with the exception of a bench that does not need to be painted:

rectangle with a length of x plus 25 and width of x plus 15 with a rectangle in the bottom right corner labeled bench that has a length of 10 and width of 3

Write an equation to determine the area, A, of the patio that will be painted.

A = (x + 18) (x + 35)

A = (x + 15) (x + 25) + 30

A = (x + 5) (x + 22)

A = (x + 25) (x + 15) - 30

Gunnar Ryan · Answer 1

A = (x+5) (x+22)

You wouldn't add any amount into the equation and don't add to the amount already provided since the area is decreasing
