Question 568308: If a square of "x" is cut out of a rectangle whose dimensions are 10 by 12, express the remaining area in terms of "x" Answer by TutorDelphia(193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The remaining area will just be the current area minus how much is cut out.
Its hard to tell from your working if x is the side or x is the area. If x is the area you just get
r=120-x where r is the remaining area, 120 is the current area and x is the area of the square
if its the side than you have since the area of a square is just the side squared.
