The correct answer is 64 square units.
The area of the complete shape would be 100 square inches.
10 x 10 = 100
However, we have to remove the 4 corners. Each of the corners is 9 square inches. 3 x 3 = 9
100 - 4(9) = 64
<span>Simplifying
4(y + -3) = 6(y + 2)
Reorder the terms:
4(-3 + y) = 6(y + 2)
(-3 * 4 + y * 4) = 6(y + 2)
(-12 + 4y) = 6(y + 2)
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 4y = 6(2 + y)
-12 + 4y = (2 * 6 + y * 6)
-12 + 4y = (12 + 6y)
Solving
-12 + 4y = 12 + 6y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6y' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 4y + -6y = 12 + 6y + -6y
Combine like terms: 4y + -6y = -2y
-12 + -2y = 12 + 6y + -6y
Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0
-12 + -2y = 12 + 0
-12 + -2y = 12
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + -2y = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -2y = 12 + 12
-2y = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: 12 + 12 = 24
-2y = 24
Divide each side by '-2'.
y = -12
Simplifying
y = -12</span>
3 to the negative second power is written like this:

.
When simplifying an expression with a negative exponent, you take a positive version of the exponent, in this case that would be 2, and apply that to the base.
After doing that, we have 9.
The next step is to put one over that number.
In this case, now after doing that the answer is

.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The total distance walked by Paulo is 3750 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the four points are<em> (-2,1) (-2,-7) (5,-7) (5,1)</em>
Moving from stop A to B, only the y coordinate changes,
the change is ,
=1-(-7) = 1+7 = 8 units
Moving from stop B to C, only the x coordinate changes,
the change is ,
=5-(-2) = 5+2 = 7 units
Moving from stop C to D, only the y coordinate changes,
the change is
=1-(-7) = 1+7 = 8 units
Moving from stop D to A, only the x coordinate changes,
the change is
=5-(-2) = 5+2 = 7 units
Thus, the total distance traveled is 8+7+8+7 = 30 units
It is given that <em>1 unit = 125 feet</em>
Thus, the total distance traveled is = 
The total distance walked by Paulo is 3750 feet.
