Answer: 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jillian is trying to save water so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 ft on each side the area of the smaller lawn is 144 square feet.

The equation according to the given information will be :-

(x-8)^2=144 x, x represents the side measure of the original lawn.

To find x , first we take square root on the both sides , we get

(x-8)=\sqrt{144}\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x-8)=\pm12

Now, add 8 on the both sides ,we get

x=20,\ or\ x=-4

But dimensions cannot be negative .

Therefore , the dimensions of the original lawn = 20 feet.

(x - 8)^2 = 144
take the sq rt of both sides
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20

20 feet by 20 feet

What is the inverse of <br><br> X^2-2x+3
schepotkina [342]
So you have x, then you square it to get x^2, then you minus 2x, then +3
The inverse is going backwards so you -3 then +2x then square root x
So you get square root x + 2x -3
I'm pretty sure this is right, sorry if I'm wrong.
