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!
9x(y+4)-10(y+4)
(9x-10)(y+4)
56÷2=28
28-1=27
so the smaller number is 27
6s. 2 and 3 divide into all these numbers but six is the greatest number that all
Divide into and they all have one s at least.
