100 points and brainliest: 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

Area= 2(x-3)

Area= 2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is equal to the multiple of its two sides this is equal to two inches times an expression three less than a certain number "x". Using the distributive property, we can solve this expression further to find that the area of this rectangle is also equal to six less than doubling a certain number x.

The area of the rectangle is (5) equal to the multiple of its two sides this is equal to two inches times an expression three less than a certain number "x". Using the distributive property. But if you are still confused when you double it, just know there is another way to solve it. You can solve it without doubling by, making it six less than a certain number x.

step-by-step explanation:

well, you see here, jamal was born to 2 parents, his mother who he lives with and his father who left at a young age and who happens to be younger than him. he stole cookies because he has to steal food due to the fact that he spends his government poverty checks on pot and women.

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
