In a visual model, (x−3)² is subtracted from (x+3)². If seen as strips, how many (3x) strips remain?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4, four strips

The direct answer is C: four strips. Expand or use the difference-of-squares identity: (x+3)²−(x−3)²=[(x+3)−(x−3)][(x+3)+(x−3)]=(6)(2x)=12x. Each stated strip has area 3x, so the number of strips is 12x÷3x=4, for x≠0. The same result follows by expansion: x²+6x+9 minus (x²−6x+9) leaves 12x. A counts only half the difference, B does not match 12x, and D would represent 18x, too large. In the picture, the symmetric square models cancel their x² and 9 corners, leaving four strips of size 3x. Memory cue: 12x is four copies of 3x.
