3.The side of a square frame is (2b - 1) inches. Find its area. Note: Area of a square
s2, where s = side of a square​

Step-by-step explanation:

(a - b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

Area of square frame =side²

                                   = (2b - 1)²

                                   = (2b)² - 2*2b * 1 + 1²

                                   = 4b² - 4b + 1

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
