A visual model has side expressions \((x+10)\) and \((x-10)\). Which parts cancel when the area is expanded?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(10x\) and \(-10x\)

Answer: A, \(10x\) and \(-10x\). Expand the product: \((x+10)(x-10)=x\cdot x+x\cdot(-10)+10\cdot x+10\cdot(-10)\). These four regions are \(x^2\), \(-10x\), \(10x\), and \(-100\). The two mixed regions have equal magnitude but opposite signs: \(10x-10x=0\), so they cancel. The remaining area expression is \(x^2-100\), which is the difference-of-squares identity. Option A is correct. B is wrong because \(x^2\) and \(-100\) do not cancel; they are different kinds of terms and remain in the result. C is wrong because the two constants are not both positive; one is \(-100\). D lists pieces rather than the two opposite linear products. Memory cue: conjugate factors \((a+b)(a-b)\) remove the middle terms and leave \(a^2-b^2\).
