The correct statement is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
For backyard
Length = 5x-2
Width = 2x+4
For house
Length = 5x-2
Width = 4x-12
For driveway
Length = x+10
Width = 4x-12
To find the correct statement.
Formula
The area of a rectangle = Length × Width
So,
The area of the house and the driveway = (5x-2)(4x-12) + (x+10)(4x-12)
= (4x-12)(5x-2+x+10)
= (4x-12)(6x+8)
=[tex]24x^{2} +32x-72x-96[/tex]
= [tex]24x^{2} -40x-96[/tex]
So, the correct statement is D
