Problema Solution
A square red placemat has a gold square in the center. Th e side length of the
gold square is (x -2) inches and the width of the red region is 4 inches. What
is the area of the red part of the placemat

The problem statement is probably in error because the area of the red part is 4*4=16 square inches... and that has nothing to do with the variable 'x'.
