In a rectangle model, the top labels are x and 4, and the left labels are x and −6. What is the total area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² − 2x − 24

Direct answer: A. The complete horizontal side is x + 4 and the complete vertical side is x − 6, so the rectangle’s area is (x + 4)(x − 6). In an area model, multiply every top label by every left label: x·x = x², x·(−6) = −6x, 4·x = 4x, and 4·(−6) = −24. Add the four signed areas: x² − 6x + 4x − 24 = x² − 2x − 24. Option A is therefore correct. Option B would incorrectly add 6x instead of using −6x. Option C has the wrong signs for the middle and constant terms. Option D has the correct constant term but the wrong middle coefficient. A negative label means a negative signed area in the algebraic model; it is not permission to ignore the sign. Memory cue: multiply each row and column pair separately, then combine like terms.
