What says odd integers???
The side is (2x+3)? then the area is:
(2x+3)(2x+3) = 4 x^2 + 12 x + 9 if x = 6 then
Area = 4(36)+12(6)+9
= 144 + 72 + 9
= 225, too big :(
The dimensions are factors of the expression
... you multiply them together to get the area
the factors are ... (x - 7) & (x + 2)
5.75+3(.50) because it’s 5.75 and then add .50 3 times to get 7.75. Meaning you can play 3 games...
Hope that helps
