A rectangle model has side lengths (2a+5) and (a-3). Which expression is obtained after adding the areas of all four parts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2a^2-a-15

Correct answer: D, 2a^2-a-15. Split the first side into 2a and 5 and the second side into a and -3. The four signed regions are (2a)(a)=2a^2, (2a)(-3)=-6a, 5(a)=5a, and 5(-3)=-15. Add them carefully: 2a^2-6a+5a-15=2a^2-a-15. The negative sign comes from the -3 part, so the second rectangle is a negative contribution. Option A incorrectly combines the linear terms as +2a. Option B adds -6a and 5a with the wrong sign and gets +11a. Option C omits the -15 corner and uses only one linear contribution. Option D includes all four parts with their correct signs. A safe check is ordinary multiplication: (2a+5)(a-3)=2a^2-6a+5a-15.
