First, we determine the area of the piece of cardboard by multiplying its dimensions.
area of cardboard = (8.5 inches) x (11 inches) = 93.5 in²
Then, we solve for the area of the cut out square,
area of the square = (4 inches) x (4 inches) = 16 in²
Then, we subtract the areas giving us the area of the frame which is equal to,
77.5 in²
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
The quadratic function are:
option: A A) y(y + 4) - y = 6
Option: C C.) 4b(b) = 0
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
We know that the general equation of a quadratic equation in terms of a variable x is given by:

A)
y(y + 4) - y = 6
On simplifying the terms we have:

Hence, option: A is correct.
B)
(3x + 2) + (6x - 1) = 0

Hence, it is a linear equation.
Hence, option: B is incorrect.
C)
4b(b) = 0
it could also be written as:

Hence, it is a quadratic equation.
Hence, option: C is correct.
D)
3a - 7 = 2(7a - 3)

which is again a linear equation.
Hence, option: D is incorrect.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=x+3
-3x+3(x+3)=4
-3x+3x+9=4
9=4
Since this statement is false, there are no ordered pair solutions to this problem.
