A rectangle has sides \((2x+1)\) and \((x+5)\). What is the correct expansion of its area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(2x^2+11x+5\)

Answer: B, \(2x^2+11x+5\). The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by breadth, so calculate \((2x+1)(x+5)\). Multiply every term in the first bracket by every term in the second: \(2x\cdot x=2x^2\), \(2x\cdot5=10x\), \(1\cdot x=x\), and \(1\cdot5=5\). Add the four regions: \(2x^2+10x+x+5=2x^2+11x+5\). Therefore B is correct. A is missing the contribution \(1\cdot x=x\), so it has \(10x\) instead of \(11x\). C incorrectly combines the middle products as \(10x-3x\). D places the constant and linear terms incorrectly and does not come from multiplication. In an area model, every row part must meet every column part. Memory cue: use FOIL or a four-box model, then combine only like terms.
