The answer would be C. (12 x 5) - (s x 2) = 38.
This is because if there are 12 students with 5 pencils per student, we can say 12 x 5. Then, think of the phrase, two pencils lost per student. That would be 2s, or (s x 2). Since it’s lost, we would subtract that amount from 12 x 5.
To find area, you multiply length * width. There are 4 sides on a number, so we need to have a equation like this. x * x * y * y = 12cm. If we do 4 * 4, we get 8. We could also use 2 * 2 = 4. 8 + 4 = 12. So, width = 8, and length = 4.
Hope this helps! ☺♥
Yes, the variable of interest is two-dimensional.
If you are making a graph about the area of a country, that is a two dimensional measurement. It would be ok to make a graph that is also 2 dimensional.
