The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3. Hope this helped :]

Let x and x+1 be the two consecutive integers.

Then their sum is x + (x+1) = 2x + 1.

First we need the whole garden:

16 x 5 = 80

Now we need to fountain:

5 x 9 = 45

Now to find our answer:

80 - 45 = 35

So our answer is B. 35ft²
