A photograph is in the shape of a rectangle. It has a length of (x - 2) inches and a width of (x - 2) inches. What is the area of the photograph? Would this be + 4?

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

two negatives make a positive and two x would make x squared

You are actually off most people make that common mistake but the answer would actually be x^2 - 4x + 4, not x^2 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 2) times (x - 2) = x^2 - 2x - 2x + 4 from here people tend to make a mistake by completely erasing out (-2x - 2x) thinking they cancel each other out, but here is what should have happened (-2x + -2x) = -4x so put it all together you would have x^2 - 4x + 4.

You can't do anything else because (+4) is a solid number of its own although there is an "x" in (x^2 and -4x) in "x^2" the x is with an exponent while in "-4x" the x is alone. It isn't the same as "x^2" so you wouldn't be able to get a proper answer even if you tried...it would most likely be an error

what does x eaqual

step-by-step explanation:

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
