Answer:

Option C. 10.5(12 + x) square feet

Option E. (126 + 10.5x) square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the original living room

we know that

The area of the original living room is equal to

[tex]A=LW[/tex]

we have

[tex]L=12\ ft\\W=10\frac{1}{2}\ ft=10.5\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]A=(12)(10.5)=126\ ft^2[/tex]

step 2

Find the new area of the living room

The length of the room is being expanded by x feet

so

we have

[tex]L=(12+x)\ ft\\W=10.5\ ft[/tex]

The new area is

[tex]A=10.5(12+x)\ ft^2[/tex]

The expanded form of the expression is

Apply distributive property

[tex]A=10.5(12)+10.5(x)\\A=(126+10.5x)\ ft^2[/tex]
