<em>ANSWER:</em>

Add -k and 8k. If you don't know why, since there is two "-". Two of those sign mean to add. And negative plus a positive is negative or positive. Or, you can just do 8k-1k. That is the same. You'll get 7k.

-k-(-8k)

= -k + 8k (two negatives equal one positive)

= 8k-k (flip it around because of the commutative property)

=7k (basic subtraction)

I really hope that helped :)

Answer:

A. 40.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price for a $5 profit will be ...

$12.75 +5.00 = $17.75

From $29.95, this represents a change of ...

(17.75 -29.95)/29.95 × 100%

= -12.20/29.95 × 100% ≈ -40.7346%

The bookstore can offer a maximum discount of about 40.7%.

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

horsena [70]

Answer: 20 feet by 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that $x$ is the original measure of one side. Since it is a square, all its sides are equal.

2. Therefore, to solve the problem you only need to solve for $x$ , as you can see below:

- You have that:

$(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$

- Then, you obtain the following quadratic equation:

$(x-8)^{2} =144\\x^{2}-2(x)(8)+8^{2}=144\\x^{2}-16x-80=0$

- Apply the Quadratic formula to solve it:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\a=1\\b=-16\\c=-80$

- Then, you obtain:

$x_1=20\\x_2=-4$

3. The dimensions cannot be negative, therefore, the answer is: 20 feet by 20 feet.
