Simplify. Combine like terms

62 + 82 = 144

c² = 144

Isolate the c. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Root both sides

c² = 144

√c² = √144

c = √144

c = 12

12 is your answer for c

hope this helps

Allie bought a 5-pound bag of trail mix. She gave 12 ounces of trail mix to Justin. Then she put the rest of the trail mix into

To solve this problem, you will first want to convert 5 pounds into ounces. To do this, first determine how many ounces is in 1 pound.

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, so to convert 5 pounds into ounces, you simply have to multiply 5 × 16. This will give you 80 ounces total.

Allie give 12 ounces away, so you must first subtract 12 ounces from your total (80 ounces). 80 - 12 gives us 68 ounces.

Allie then divides the trail mix up into 4 ounce portions. To figure out how many small bags she can make, you simply divide your new total (68 ounces) by 4.

68 ÷ 4 = 17

Allie made 17 small bags.
