The Bilbo Company plans to manufacture decals for children's lunchboxes. Each decal would cover one rectangular side of a lunchbox, as shown in the figure above. Which of
the following expressions gives the area, in square inches, of the decal, in terms of a and

1 -2ax²+2x-ax

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a rectangle: length x width

Replacing with the values given:

A = (2x+1) (1-ax)

A = [2x(1)] + [2x(-ax)] +[ 1(1)]+ [1 (-ax)]

A = 2x- 2ax² +1- ax

A = 1 -2ax²+2x-ax

In conclusion, the correct option is 1 -2ax²+2x-ax
