The area of this rectangle is 4x2. What does the coefficient 4 mean in terms of the problem?

Answer:
Option B. The length is [tex]4[/tex] times the width
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a rectangle is equal to
[tex]A=LW[/tex]
where
L is the length
W is the width
In this problem we have
[tex]L=4x\ units[/tex] -----> equation A
[tex]W=x\ units[/tex] ------> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
[tex]L=4(W)\ units[/tex]
therefore
The length is [tex]4[/tex] times the width
