A signed rectangle model is formed by (x+3) and (x-5). What will be the total area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x²−2x−15

The correct answer is A: x²−2x−15. Use the distributive property and multiply every term in the first binomial by every term in the second. The four signed regions are x·x=x², x·(−5)=−5x, 3·x=3x, and 3·(−5)=−15. Now combine like terms: x²−5x+3x−15=x²−2x−15. Option B incorrectly treats the middle terms as +5x and +3x, producing +8x. Option C places the coefficient and constant incorrectly; −15x is not the product of the two constants. Option D changes the signs of the middle and constant terms and therefore does not follow the given factors. Memory cue: use FOIL carefully, and remember that a positive times a negative is negative while two unlike x-terms combine algebraically.
