Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.
The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.
This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:
s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.

B

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Theoretical probability is expected probability of an occurrence hence the name theoretical. It is theoretical and not practical as it has not been experimented or actually become practical. Experimental probability on the other hand is probability that has been experimented- it is the result of test of probability on the actual population.
In the case above, the theoretical which is the expected probability that has not been experimented is 1/2 of getting Red cards. This probability is theoretical and therefore may change when tested. Hence the different result of 7 Red and 13 blacks with 20 cards picked when experimented
