Answer:
D. [tex] x^2 + 3x - 88 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle = [tex] length (l) * width (w) [/tex]
Length of rectangle = (x - 8)
Width = (x + 11)
Area of rectangle = [tex] (x - 8)(x + 11) [/tex]
Expand the expression
[tex] x(x + 11) -8(x + 11) [/tex] (distributive property of multiplication)
[tex] x^2 + 11x - 8x - 88 [/tex]
Combine like terms
[tex] x^2 + 3x - 88 [/tex]
Expression for the area of the rectangle = [tex] x^2 + 3x - 88 [/tex]
