Answer:
The area that was not painted is [tex](2x^{2}-6x+6)\ units^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the area of the rectangle
we know that
The area of a rectangle is equal to
[tex]A=LW[/tex]
In this problem we have
[tex]L=2x-3[/tex]
[tex]W=x[/tex]
substitute
[tex]A=(2x-3)x\\A=(2x^{2}-3x)\ units^{2}[/tex]
step 2
Find the area that was painted
[tex]A=(3)(x-2)\\A=(3x-6)\ units^{2}[/tex]
step 3
Find the area that was not painted
Subtract the area that was painted from the total area of rectangle
so
[tex]A=(2x^{2}-3x)-(3x-6)=(2x^{2}-6x+6)\ units^{2}[/tex]
