The next number is your first question.

A rectangular table is placed on a rectangular mat. The width of the mat is 4 feet greater than the length, x, of the mat. The width of the table is 2 feet less than the width of the mat. The length of the table is 4 feet less than the width of the table. Which function represents the area of the mat not covered by the table?

• Show your work draw the actual figure and label. Translate in mathematical equations.

• Area means to multiply, once you're done then subtract the two AREAS.

Find the volume of the rectangular box given the lenght of (x+1), width of (x+2) and height of (5x-6).

• Multiply the length and the width using a 2 by 2 box method.

• Then multiply the product of length and width to its height. Combine like terms and arrange in standard form

Factor 12x² - 2xy - 4y²

• Take out the GCF

• Factor the rest by any method (x-game, slide & divide and magic square). Final answer should contain the GCF

Factor: 8x² - 32.

• Take out the GCF

• Factor again the left over using difference of squares.

Find the perimeter of a rectangle given an area of 6x² - 7x - 5.

• Perimeter means to add, draw the rectangle and solve the length and the width by factoring using (x-game, slide and divide, magic square)

• After solving length and width of rectangle add all the sides to get the perimeter.
