The Bilbo Company plans to manufacture decals for children's lunchboxes. Each decal would cover one rectangular side of a lunchbox, as shown in the figure above. Which of
the following expressions gives the area, in square inches, of the decal, in terms of a and

1 -2ax²+2x-ax

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a rectangle: length x width

Replacing with the values given:

A = (2x+1) (1-ax)

A = [2x(1)] + [2x(-ax)] +[ 1(1)]+ [1 (-ax)]

A = 2x- 2ax² +1- ax

A = 1 -2ax²+2x-ax

In conclusion, the correct option is 1 -2ax²+2x-ax

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.

answer: the common difference is -0.10
