If the sides of a rectangle model are x − 3 and x + 9, what is its total area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 6x − 27

The correct answer is x² + 6x − 27. The area of a rectangle equals length multiplied by breadth, so calculate (x − 3)(x + 9). Multiply every term in the first bracket by every term in the second: x·x = x², x·9 = 9x, (−3)·x = −3x, and (−3)·9 = −27. Combining like terms gives 9x − 3x = 6x, so the area is x² + 6x − 27. Option B has the wrong middle term and sign. Option C incorrectly adds 9x and 3x instead of subtracting 3x. Option D changes the negative product (−3)(9) into a positive 27. The negative constant is not an error; it follows from signed multiplication. A reliable method is to use a four-cell area grid and write the sign of every partial product before combining terms.
