Marissa is painting her rectangular patio, with the exception of a bench that does not need to be painted:


rectangle with a length of x plus 20 and width of x plus 10 with a rectangle in the bottom right corner labeled bench that has a length of 6 and width of 2


Write an equation to determine the area, A, of the patio that will be painted.


A = (x + 20)(x + 10) + 12

A = (x + 20)(x + 10) − 12

A = (x + 26)(x + 12)

A = (x + 14)(x + 8)
