Take the square root of 256 to find the side length of the mirror
√256 =16
the rectangles width is 16, it length is 2 inches longer
16+2 =18 so the length is 18
to find the area multiply them together
18x16=288
the area is 288 inches² :)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
You must distribute first.
8 times (3x-2)= 24x-16
2 times (12x-5.5)= 24x-11
What you have left is
(24x-16)-(24x-11)
24x-24x=0
-16- -11=-5
The answer is -5
