If the outer dimensions in a rectangle model are x - 5 and x + 9, what will be the total area of the x-rectangles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x

Answer: B, 4x. Multiply the dimensions using the area model: (x - 5)(x + 9) gives four parts, x·x = x², x·9 = 9x, (-5)·x = -5x, and (-5)·9 = -45. The question asks only for the two rectangles containing x, so combine the cross terms: 9x + (-5x) = 4x. Therefore the required total is 4x. Option A, 14x, adds the magnitudes 9 and 5 and ignores the negative sign. Option C has the wrong sign because 9x is larger than 5x. Option D treats the constant corner -45 as though it were an x-rectangle, but it contains no x. Memory cue: in a signed rectangle, preserve the sign of every side before combining like terms.
