Ryan wants to carpet his bedroom. The length of his bedroom is (x+6) feet and the width is (x+7) feet. What is the area of Ryan's room?

Question

also, express your answer a polynomial in simplest form. Thank you

Answer 1

The length is x + 7 (length is longer than width)

The width is x + 6 (width is shorter than length)

A = (x + 7)(x + 6)

A = x² + 7x + 6x + 42

 

Can you simplify the polynomial?
