Help Please Medal!! Greg drew 3 squares with each side equal to z units. For each square, he does something different to it according to each part below. Part A: Greg increased the length and width of the square by t units each. What will be the change in the area of the original figure? Part B: Greg decreased the length and width of the square by t units each. What will be the change in the area of the square? Part C: Greg increased the length of the square by t units and decreased its width by t units. What will be the change in the area of the square?

i dont want answers I need explanations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh man, this is FLVS Algebra, Polynomials isn't it? XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i been trying for an hour to solve this but I have trouble making equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm working on the exact some one, only reworded differently. Here's where you can find the help http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/530fb1e6e4b0b5c2521cd6c9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I'd give the answers, but I don't need/want to cheat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its sort of similar to this equation and no problem i didnt want answers I just needed some help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah of course! It's pretty understandable once you get it, y'know? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but do you think you could walk me through it i dont want you to give me answers cuz then i wouldnt learn anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure. Hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at Lesson 7.03

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Besides that, I don't know how else to help you. :-( I'm sorry. I'd give you more if it said like 1 square instead of 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unfortunetly i cant cuz this is a test im not cheating i swear i just need help on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill get logged out of the test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i basically just need help on part a for coming up with the equation and thats it i can figure out part b and c on my own

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can just-oh. You are allowed to look at the lessons though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm...let me see.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the help i really appreciate it i just need help on creating the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[( z + t ) ^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me how you got it because when i read the sentence i never know how to put it in an equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(z + t ) • ( z + t ) • ( z + t )\] I THINK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please don't report me as spam if it's incorrect, again, I'm working on the one that I linked you. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wont i promise i dont even know how XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that 3 an exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so im trying to do part b ill right what i have and you tell me if its incorrect of correct k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*write

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so for (z+t)^3 that was the original equation right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because im trying to do part a and im wondering is z considered the area of the square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"...each side equal to z units." Sides are z units, not the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so would z be considered the length and width im sorry im just have always had trouble with equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess so? I'm not sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im just gonna guess that they are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill just figure it out on my own im going to do some research thank you for your help though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.
