Nate’s client said she wanted the width w of every room in her house increased by 2 feet and the length 2w decreased by 5 feet. The polynomial (w+2)(2w−5) or 2w^2 −w−10 gives the new area of any room in the house. The current width of the kitchen is 16 feet. What is the area of the new kitchen?

486 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you want to replace every w with 16.

This gives (16+2)(2×16-5) or 2×16²-16-10.

I'm going to show this with the first example because the numbers are a bit easier.

You want to begin by working out the brackets. 16+2=18, and 2×16=32, giving us 18(32-5).

32-5=27, giving 18×27 as the equation.

This equals to 486, so the area is 486 ft².

the equivalent expression are always the hardest ones but you look at the gcf also
