The length of a rectangle is 2x – 3 feet, and the width is 5 feet. What is the area of the rectangle in square feet?

A7x – 15
B10x – 15
C10x – 8
D7x – 8

Verified Answer :

5(2x - 3)

5 2x = 10x

-3 = - 15

10x - 15


The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its width. It is expressed as:

Area = l x w

We use this equation, to solve this problem.

Area = l x w
Area = (2x – 3) x 5
Area = 10x - 15

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
