If the height and base of the parallelogram shown are each decreased by 2 cm, what is the area of the new parallelogram?

A parallelogram with a base of 10 centimeters and a height of 8 centimeters.

40 cm2
48 cm2
64 cm2
76 cm2

48cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

just pretend that the parallelogram is an 8x6

48 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula A = bh. The height is 8 cm minus 2, now the height is 6 cm. The base is 10 cm minus 2, now the base is 8 cm. Multiply 8 by 6, you'll get the answer 48 cm^2.

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
