Answer:
(x-12) (x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Elena packed 48 cubes.
Each cube has an edge of 1 centimeter.
The number of layers that Elena can make depends on how each layer is arranged and depends on how many cubes are there in a layer.
Assume that each layer has only 1 cube, then there are 48 layers.
Perimeter: 2 1/8 + 3 1/2 + 2 1/2 = 7 (1 + 4 + 4)/8 = 7 9/8 = 8 1/8
