Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be the shaded area and
be the unshaded area, then we know that
(1). 
and
(2).
We solve for
in the first equation and get:

and put this into the second equation and get:




Answer: -3
Step-by-step explanation: 2x = -2 then you subtract 1 from that which is the same as adding negative one so -2 - 1 or -2 + -1 = -3
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation: because you up four and move 1 so the answer is 4/1 but is simplified by 4
To get the largest area, the length and the width have to be as close as possible, if not the same.
Given Perimeter = 176 unit.
Length = 176 ÷ 4 = 44 units
Area = Length x Width
Area = 44 x 44 = 1936 units²
1936 units² is the largest possible area, given that the perimeter is 176 units. The dimension being 44 by 44
