When making the area model of \((2x+1)(x+4)\), what will be the total \(x\)-term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(9x\)

Direct answer: C, \(9x\), is correct. Draw a four-part area model for \((2x+1)(x+4)\). The product \(2x\cdot x\) gives the quadratic part \(2x^2\), while \(1\cdot4\) gives the constant part 4. The two cross-products create the linear terms: \(2x\cdot4=8x\) and \(1\cdot x=x\). Since both are like terms, combine them: \(8x+x=9x\). Thus the full expansion is \(2x^2+9x+4\). A is wrong because 5x does not result from either correct sum. B is only the first cross-product and ignores the additional \(x\). D is only the second constant-times-variable product and ignores \(8x\). Memory cue: the total linear term in a two-binomial product comes from both cross-products, not just one.
