Question- What is the difference of finding the number of outcomes vs finding the probability?
Answer- Probability is a mathematical way of calculating how likely an event is to occur. The number of favorable outcomes is the number of choices and the probability is found by comparing this to the total number of outcomes
I got 64 square feet.
My work is shown in the image.
For possible questions:
1: you can find x+7 and x-2 because the sides of the square can be measured as x, and x+7 means 7 more than the original; x-2 means 2 less than the original.
2: solved via factoring. Not sure if you've learned it or not.
3: reject the negative numbers because you can't have negative sides in a square.
