Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square is x^2

The area of the flower garden is lw

( x-4) ( x-6)

x^2 -6x-4x +24

x^2 -10x +24

Subtract the flower garden from the square to find the area of the patio

x^2 - ( x^2 -10x +24)

Distribute the minus sign

x^2 -x^2 +10x -24

10x -24

Answer:

c. 10x -24 sq. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

area of lot = x * x

area of garden = (x-4)(x-6) = x^2-10x+24

Area of patio

= area of lot - area of patio

= x^2 -(x^2-10x+24)

= 10x-24 sq.ft
