Question

Maria and jamal each have gardens. The area of Maria's garden is represented by the expression 8x^2 - 3x. Jamal's garden is a rectangular plot with the width and length represented by the expressions 3x and 4x-2. Which expressions give how much bigger or smaller Jamal's garden is compared to Jessica's? Check all that apply. 4x^2-9x -4x^2+3x 4x^2-3x 12x^2-6x-8x^2-3x 12x^2-6x-8x^2+3x

Answer 1

Answer:

4x^2 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Maria's garden = 8x^2 - 4x

Jamal's garden

Width = 3x

Length = 4x - 2

Area of Jamal's garden = length × width

= (4x - 2) (3x)

= 12x^2 - 6x

Difference in area of Jamal's garden and Maria's garden

Jamal's garden - Maria's garden

(12x^2 - 6x) - (8x^2 - 4x)

12x^2 - 6x - 8x^2 + 4x

4x^2 - 2x

The difference is the areas of their garden is 4x^2 - 2x
