A square has one of its sides increased by 7 inches and the other side decreased by 4 inches. Which of the following represents the area of the square?

Step-by-step explanation:

both the length and the width of a square is the same measurement.

so if both measured to "x" then that means one side increase +7.

so one side is x + 7

and the other side decreased -4

so the other side is x - 4

area of square = length x width or just one of the sides to the power of 2

so (x+7) * (x-4) = Area

x^2 + 3x - 21 = area

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

answer: approximately 206 bones

i hope this u out a branlist and a would be greatly appreciated :
