Question

What is the area of a square that has a length of x-5?

Answer 1

Explanation:

`\text{Formula for the area of a square:}`

• 
  `A=s^2`
  `(\text{`

`\text{Given}`:

• 
  `\text{The side length is x - 5, so we can plug that into the equation}`

`\text{Solving}`:

• 
  `A=s^2`
• 
  `A=(x-5)^2`

• 
  `A=x^2-10x+25`

Answer 2

x^2 - 10x + 25

Explanation:

(x-5) (x-5)

= x^2-10x+25
