We need to see the "given system".
I believe the answer is “A”
8 1/2 or 8.5 x11 = 93.5 square inches thus,
1000 square inches divided by 93.5 square inches
1000/93.5 ~10.695
that mean that Jodi can cut out about 10 pieces of paper measuring 8 1/2 x 11 inches.
I used the completing the square method to get the (x+2)^2. The final line is in standard form.
