If the rectangle sides are \((3x+1)\) and \((x+2)\), what is the total \(x\)-term in the area model?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(7x\)

The direct answer is C, \(7x\). Use the distributive property and identify every region in the area model: \((3x+1)(x+2)=3x\cdot x+3x\cdot2+1\cdot x+1\cdot2\). These products are \(3x^2\), \(6x\), \(x\), and 2. The terms containing exactly one x are \(6x\) and \(x"); combining them gives \(6x+x=7x\). Option A is not obtained from the expansion. Option B counts only \(3x\cdot2\) and misses the rectangle \(1\cdot x\). Option D incorrectly adds an extra x-term. The full expansion is \(3x^2+7x+2\). A reliable habit is to draw the four products first, then combine only like terms; \(x^2\), \(x\), and constants must not be mixed.
