Well, let's see . . .
You said that (a) men can dig (c) holes in (b) hours.
So . . . It takes (a) men (b / c) hours to dig one hole.
And . . . It takes One man (a b / c) hours to dig one hole.
Now . . . There are (b) holes to be dug.
It would take one man (a b / c)·(b) = (a b² / c) hours to dig them all.
But if you had 'x' men, it would only take them (c) hours to do it.
So c = (a b² / c) / x
x c = (a b² / c)
x = a b² / c² men .
Now, I lost the big overview while I was doing that,
and just started following my nose through the fog.
So I have to admit that I'm not that confident in the answer.
But gosh durn it. That's the answer I got, and I'm stickin to it.

Answer:
x = 8.6603 m
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the length of a side of the square, the area of the square will be x^2.
So, if the area of the square is 75 ft2, we can formulate the quadratic equation:
x^2 = 75
Now, solving the equation, we just need to make the square root of 75:
x = sqrt(75) = ±8.6603
x1 = 8.6603
x2 = -8.6603
Now, as x represents the length of a side of the square, and measurements can't be negative, we take only the positive value, so:
x = 8.6603 m

Answer:</u></h2>
The <u>algebraic expressions</u> are composed of several elements: Terms, Coefficients, Signs, Variables and Exponents. In this case we will focus on the first two.
<u>The terms</u> are composed of sign, coefficient, variable and exponent. The terms are separated from each other by the plus sign (+) or the minus sign (-).
For example, in the following expression:
2x-3x
We have two terms separated by the negative sign (-):
2x is the first term
-3x is the second term
Now, <u>the coefficients</u> are the numbers that multiply the variable. <u>Note that if this coefficient is one (1) it is omitted
.</u>
For example in the following expression, the variable is x:
2x-3x+x
2 is the coefficient of x in the first term
-3 is the coefficient of x in the second term
1 is the coefficient of x in the third term, <u>but is omitted
</u>
In order to understand this in a better way, see the figure attached, where the algebraic expression is composed by one term.
Change the x and y
Then solve for y
X= 8y+1
Subtract 1 from both sides
X-1=8y
Divide by 8
X-1 /8 = y
