Let x be the smaller sheet.
Smaller sheet = x
Larger sheet = x + 3

Area of the smaller sheet = x²
Area of the larger sheet = (x + 3)²

The difference is 81 in²
(x + 3)² - x² = 81
x² + 6x + 9 - x² = 81
6x + 9 = 81
6x = 72
x = 12 inches

Answer: The edge of the smaller square is 12 inches.

If f ( x ) = 7 ( x − 1 ) + 8 f(x)=7(x−1)+8 , what is the value of f ( 1 ) f(1) ?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) is another notation for x = 1

so we’ll plug in 1 for x

f(1) = 7((1) -1) +8

f(1) = 7(0) +8

f(1) = 0 +8

f(1) = 8
