Answer:
To know if the equation is true, you need to write it down on a piece of paper and see if you get the results.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 8)² = 144
Take square root of both sides
(x - 8) = √144
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
Original lawn is = 20 feet * 20 feet square
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we got our equation:
We'll multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of that fraction.
x+4=14
Then, we just subtract 4 from both sides.
x=10
Answer:
- Doug's garden: 87 lbs
- Kelsey's garden: 15 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent the pounds of produce coming from Kelsey's garden. Then Doug's garden produces 5.8k pounds of produce, and the total weight of it is ...
k + 5.8k = 102
6.8k = 102 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
k = 102/6.8 = 15 . . . . . . pounds of produce from Kelsey's garden
5.8k = 5.8·15 = 87 . . . . pounds of produce from Doug's garden
