Here are two rectangles. The length and width of one rectangle are 8 and 5. The width of the other rectangle is 5, but its length is unknown so we labeled it x. Write an expression for the sum of the areas of the two rectangles.

5•x=? and 8•5=40, personal opinion: the left rectangle is most likely a square so if you need to solve it it's 5•5=10

Step-by-step explanation:

A(area)=l (length)•w (width)

just plug in your numbers, in this case it would be 8(length) times 5(width)

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
