Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 4 = 2(x - 1)  combine like terms on the left  side  

12 = 2(x -1)    Distribute on the right side

12 = 2x - 2      Add 2 to both sides

+2         +2

14 = 2x     Divide both sides by 2

x= 7

A square corner of 16 square centimeters is removed
oee [108]

Option C:

Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter

Solution:

Area of the square paper = 9x^2 sq. cm

Area of the square corner removed = 16 sq. cm

Let us find the area of the remaining paper.

Area of the remaining paper = Area of the square paper – Area of the corner

Area of the remaining = 9x^2-16

                                     = (3x)^2-(4)^2

Using algebraic formula: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

                                     =(3x-4)(3x+4)

Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter

Hence (3x – 4)(3x + 4)  represents area of the remaining paper in square centimeters.
