Answer:
D. (x - 8) (x - 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
-16x must be split into two terms that can be added to get -16, and multiplied to get 64. The only two terms that can satisfy this, is -8.
(x - 8) (x - 8)
If you're unsure about whether it's correct, you can multiply the two together to see if you get your original expression,
, as your answer.
Do your best remember volume is H+L+W and area is L*W
Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
8 x
16 100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%
