2cm shaded x-3 not shaded (length) 12 cm (height) write a multiplication expression for the area of the shaded figure then expand and then simplify it.
To find the area of the shaded figure, you multiply the length by the height.
The length is given as "2cm shaded x-3 not shaded," and the height is given as "12cm."
Therefore, the multiplication expression for the area of the shaded figure is:
Area = (2x - 3) * 12
To expand this expression, we multiply each term inside the parentheses by the value outside the parentheses:
Area = 2x*12 - 3*12
Simplifying further:
Area = 24x - 36
So the simplified expression for the area of the shaded figure is 24x - 36.
