A square photograph has a side length of x + 8. It is surrounded by a frame that is 2 inches wide all the way
around. Write a simplified expression for the area of
just the picture frame.

(x + 10)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

*It helps to draw a diagram for these types of questions

Side length of photograph: x + 8

Width of frame: 2 in.

Area of a square: s^2

A = ((x + 8) + 2)^2

= (x + 10)^2

Therefore the area of the photograph with the frame is (x + 10)^2

no he doesnt because "-16' is negatiive
