Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert this to numbers. When a number is decreased by a certain amount, that is the same as saying that something is subtracted from it. Therefore:

a-7=2

Add 7 to both sides:

a-7+7=2+7

a=9

Hope this helps!

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number (Let's call it x) has been subtracted by 7 (x - 7) then to find the previous number you just do the opposite. Let's call the end result y. 2 + 7 = x (Or y + 7 = x). <u>2 + 7 = 9.</u>

2x² + 12x + 11 - (x - 4)²
2x² + 12x + 11 - 1(x - 4)²
2x² + 12x + 11 - 1(x - 4)(x - 4)
2x² + 12x + 11 - 1(x(x - 4) - 4(x - 4))
2x² + 12x + 11 - 1(x(x) - x(4) - 4(x) + 4(4))
2x² + 12x + 11 - 1(x² - 4x - 4x + 16)
2x² + 12x + 11 - 1(x² - 8x + 16)
2x² + 12x + 11 + 1(x²) + 1(8x) - 1(16)
2x² + 12x + 11 + x² + 8x - 16
2x² + x² + 12x + 8x + 11 - 16
