Worksheet 1
8 problems- Emma is constructing a decorative rectangular frame for a large abstract painting. The length of the frame is (7x + 9) centimeters and the width is (7x - 9) centimeters. She needs to calculate the area of the frame's opening (the space inside the frame) to ensure the painting fits perfectly. What is the simplified expression for the area of the frame's opening in square centimeters?
- (7x + 2y)(7x - 2y) = ?
