Answer:

1,680 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can create a proportion using this setup:

grams/people=grams/people

The recipe needs 480 grams for 4 people and x (unknown-what we are trying to find) grams for 14 people.

480 grams/4 people=x grams/14

480/4=x/14

Now, we have to solve for x-the grams needed for 14 people. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 14. To undo this, multiply both sides by 14, because multiplication is the opposite of division.

14(480/4)=(x/14)14

14(480/4)=x

14*120=x

1680=x

She needs 1,680 grams of couscous for 14 people.

Answer:

Area is (x² - 9) units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

• from difference of squares quadratic property:

${ \boxed{ \rm{(a - b)(a + b) = ( {a}^{2} - {b}^{2}) }}}$

→ a is x

→ b is 3

• Therefore:

${ \tt{area = {x}^{2} - {3}^{2} }} \\ \\ { \tt{area = {x}^{2} - 9 }}$
