Answer:
5x^2 +24x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
First you'll want to find the area of the larger rectangle, and then you'll subtract the area of the smaller rectangle (which is not shaded) to get your answer.
Larger Rectangle:
A = length * width
A = (2x + 3)(4x - 5) = (8x^2 - 10x + 12x - 15) = 8x^2 + 2x - 15
Smaller Rectangle:
A = length * width
A = (x - 8)(3x + 2) = (3x^2 + 2x - 24x - 16) = 3x^2 - 22x - 16
Larger Rectangle minus Smaller Rectangle:
(8x^2 + 2x - 15) - (3x^2 - 22x - 16)
5x^2 +24x +1
