Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2

According to the model above, 9, left parenthesis, 9, n, minus, 9, right parenthesis, equals9(9n−9)=

Answer 1

To find the missing values in the area model for the expression \(9(9n - 9)\), we can break it down using the distributive property.

The expression can be rewritten as:

\[
9(9n - 9) = 9 \cdot 9n - 9 \cdot 9
\]

Calculating each part:

1. \(9 \cdot 9n = 81n\)
2. \(9 \cdot 9 = 81\)

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

\[
81n - 81
\]

Therefore, in your area model:

- First part would be \(81n\)
- Second part would be \(-81\)

So the completed expression is:

\[
9(9n - 9) = 81n - 81
\]
