Step-by-step explanation:
The side length of a square is represented by the expression 2x + 5.
The area of a square is given as:
where a = length of side of the square
The area of the square is therefore:
The perimeter of a square is given as:
The perimeter of the square is therefore:
The difference between the area of the square and the perimeter of the square is:
The expression that represents the difference between the area and the perimeter of the square is:
The equation is .
1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)
The new equation is . Subtract the numerators.
17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8
The improper fraction simplifies to
.
