35% * x = 147

Answer = 420
The point-slope form:

We have the point (8, -4) and the slope m = -5/6. Substitute:

The best step to do next is to add 80 to both sides of equation:
5 ( x² + 8 x ) + 80 = 14 + 80
and since 80 = 5 · 16
5 ( x² + 8 x + 16 ) = 94 Answer : B )
After that we will continue like this:
5 ( x + 4 )² = 94
( x + 4 )² = 18.8 ... etc
x^2 = 7x - 10
x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 2) = 0
x = 5 or x = 2
The answer is B.
The shape of the room is not a square.
Pythagorean Theorem: 17^2+17^2= 578, square root 578 and you'll get 24.04.
The length of the diagonal of the floor of the room in the plan should have been 24.04 in order to be a square.
