The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. the long sides of the same rectangle are three less than a certain number of inches. suppose that you are given the value of the unknown number. verbally describe two methods for finding the area of this rectangle. use complete sentences in your answer.

x= "a certain number of inches"

side a= x-3

side b= 2 inches

multiply:

Area= a(b)

A= (x-3)2

A= 2(x-3)

distribute:

A= 2(x-3)

A= (2*x) + (2*-3)

A= 2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

345

step-by-step explanation:

in the math equation 8 x 7 = 56, the 8 and the 7 are both factors of 56, since in this lesson we will use square tiles to figure out the factors of a whole find as many different arrays as you can, but follow one important rule: all the rows must have the i can make two rows of nine, so 2 and 9 are both factors of 18.
