There are 12 inches in 1 foot. You know that the area of a square is or base times hight. A square has the same base and height. So we can say (base)^2. If the base is 12 inches in this case 12^2 = 144. Answer: 144 square inches.
Yes the product of two integers with different sings can be positive or negative if is negative and negative equal a positive
Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:
you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4
then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.
so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left
Your problem did not have an operator between the x and 1 so I did it as subtraction and addition. There was no answer choice -3 so D x=-9 is the answer
