An operations manager is calculating the total floor area of a new rectangular warehouse section. The length of the section in meters is modeled by the expression ${}5x + 9$ and the width by ${}4x + 3$. To find the area, they need to multiply the two expressions. If they recall the method of applying the Distributive Property by treating the second binomial, ${}4x + 3$, as a single unit and distributing it across the first binomial, what is the correct first procedural step they will write down?

A facility manager is determining the floor area of a rectangular storage zone. The length is modeled by the expression ${}5x + 9$ and the width is modeled by ${}4x + 3$. To find the total area, the manager multiplies these dimensions using the Distributive Property. Match each stage of the calculation process with its correct mathematical result.

A retail space planner is calculating the total square footage of a new shop section with dimensions of $({}5x + 9)$ feet and $({}4x + 3)$ feet. After performing the initial distribution steps, the planner obtains the four-term expression ${}20x^2 + 15x + 36x + 27$. To find the final simplified trinomial for the area, the planner combines the like terms. What is the resulting coefficient of the linear $x$ term?

A production supervisor is calculating the total surface area of a new modular workstation with dimensions represented by the expressions ${}(5x + 9)$ and ${}(4x + 3)$. To find the product, they apply the Distributive Property twice. Arrange the following steps in the correct procedural order according to this method.
