<span>First we need to find the GCF (greatest common factor)</span>
<span>Factors of 42 are:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42</span>
<span>Factors of 48 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48</span>
<span>GCF is 6</span>
<span>To simplify you divide numerator and denominator into the GCF</span>
<span>42 ÷ 6 = 7</span>
<span>48 ÷ 6 = 8</span>
<span>42/48 = 7/8</span>
<span>Hope this helps. :)

31x^2 + 53x - 8
Use the FOIL method to find the area of the large rectangle. (7x - 2)(9 + 5x)
First term in each binomial: 7x * 9 = 63x
Outside terms: 7x * 5x = 35x^2
Inside terms: -2 * 9 = -18
Last term in each binomial: -2 * 5x = -10x
Now, just add them all up.
63x + 35x^2 - 8 - 10x
35x^2 + 53x - 8
Now find the area of the square.
2x * 2x = 4x^2
Now, subtract the areas.
31x^2 + 53x - 8
