In a rectangle model, the length is x+6 and the breadth is x-2. What is the total area after adding the parts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x²+4x-12

The direct answer is A: x²+4x-12. The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by breadth, so A=(x+6)(x-2). Apply the distributive property term by term: x·x=x², x·(-2)=-2x, 6·x=6x, and 6·(-2)=-12. Combining like terms gives x²-2x+6x-12=x²+4x-12. Option B incorrectly makes the two middle products add to 8x; one product is -2x, so the correct combination is 4x. Option C reverses the signs of the middle and constant terms. Option D correctly has the middle coefficient but incorrectly treats 6·(-2) as +12. A signed area model may show pieces with different signs, but algebraic addition still requires preserving every sign. Memory cue: multiply every part of the first factor by every part of the second, then combine like terms.
