So each foot is 12 inches so to remove 8 feet to get 12 in you need to remove 8 times 12 inches total or 96 in and each cut removes 1/8 in so times 96 by 8 and get 768 total cuts
The intercept is -25 because for a quadratic equation in the form

the c value or the number without a variable attached is the y intercept
The answer is 16807 because 49*343 is 16807.
X + y + z = 32 * 3
27 + 27 + x = 96
X = 54
2x = 108
Average of x and 2x = (54+108) / 2 = 164 / 2 = 82
Average of X and 2X = 82
