I will get you started.
x^2+4x-4 = 8
x^2 + 4x - 4 - 8 = 0
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0
You must now use the quadratic formula.
In the formula, a = 1, b = 4, and c = -12.
Take it from here.
Answer:
Area of a square is given by:
A = a2

9 would be ur answer....because 9 is an odd number greater then 2, but it is not a prime number
The volume of the box in this problem doesn't really matter, considering that a cereal box is hollow. Assuming the surface area is 174 inches², then you can simply multiply 0.05 x 174, which is 8.7. Then put that number in the form of money to get $8.70. (seems a bit pricey for one cereal box to me ;P)
6,600 pounds
2,000 multiply by 3.3 equals 6,600
