Answer:  192 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the weight of Frances ( in pounds ).

Given : The ratio between Frances and Carolina's weight is 8: 7

If Carolina weighs 168 pounds, then using proportion s we have the equation below :-

\dfrac{x}{168}=\dfrac{8}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{8\times168}{7}\ \ \text{[Multiply 168 on both sides]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8\times24=192

Therefore, the weight of Frances = 192 pounds.

Spencer would be the correct one because it's easier to keep your variables positive when trying to solve. Therefore, in order to keep the variable positive, one would have to add 4x to both sides.

What is the area of the squares with sides (2x-3)feet?​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

4x^2 -12x +9   ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is

A = s^2 where s is the side length

A = (2x-3) ^2

A = (2x-3) (2x-3)

FOIL

first 2x*2x =4x^2

outer 2x (-3) = -6x

inner -3*2x = -6x

last -3*-3 = 9

Add them together

4x^2 -6x-6x +9

Combine like terms

4x^2 -12x +9

The area is 4x^2 -12x +9 ft^2
