answer
D 2
factor
factor the equation
into (x + a) and (x + b) so that a + b = -2 and a * b = -8
the two numbers that meet these conditions are a = -4 and b = 2

find solutions
set both (x - 4) and (x + 2) equal to zero to find your solutions
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
add solutions
since the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -2, add them together to get your final answer
4 + (-2) = 2
She posted 2/5 of them
90 times 2/5=180/5=36
she posted 36
90-36=54
she posted 2/3 of remaining (54)
2/3 times 54=108/3=36
54-36=18
she has not yet posted 18 of them
??? Do you mean 17 divided by 2 cuz that's 8.5
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula that is used to calculate the area of a square is this one:

Where "s" is the side lenght of the square
You know that Julia used 1 foot square stone tiles, then each side lenght of the this tiles is:

Since Julia laid 7 tiles wide by 7 tiles long, the side lenght of the new patio is:

Therefore its area is:
