A=length x height. First we want to know the area of the original sheet of paper. 8.5 x 11= 93.5 inches squared. Then we take two squares with side length 2 inches. The area of each of these squares is 2 x 2, or 4 inches. Since there are two, the total area we take away is 8 inches. We subtract 8 inches from 93.5 since we took it away, and the final area of the paper is 85.5 inches^{2}
Hope this helped!
Answer: x=6 y=6
Step-by-step explanation:

Since the right parts of the equation are equal, therefore the left parts of the equation are also equal:

Divide both parts of the equation by 2:

Answer:
32x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW
A = (8x - 2)(4)
A = 32x - 8
blue marbles
y = yellow marbles
Sum = b+y
The <span>chance of a blue marble being drawn first is:
b / (b+y) = 0.55
</span>The <span>chance of a blue marble being drawn first then a yellow next is:
</span>b / (b+y) * y / (b+y-1) = 0.37
This can be solve easily by using a theorem of Bayes
0.37/0.55 = .67 or 67%
