Answer: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
For a perfect square each factor is identical.
Now, we have to find a number that adds to get 8.
The only option is (x+4)(x+4). When you distribute, you get x²+8x+16.
Now, we know that the missing number is 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplication of fractions is easiest operation. Simply multiple numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator. For example,

Addition and subtraction requires that we find a common demoninator.
For example,

The common denominator is 12. So I need to muliply each fraction to get the right denominator. 4*3 = 12.

Then we add the numerators

Then we should reduce.

Division is a little trickier because we have to flip-flop the second term and then multiply. For example: 
Answer:
1 2/9 minutes faster
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the larger number and subtract the smaller number
8 5/9 minutes - 7 1/3 minutes
Get a common denominator
8 5/9 - 7 1/3 *3/3
8 5/9 - 7 3/9
1 2/9 minutes faster
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number
number = x
x - 5 = 3x + 1
now im going to get the numbers and variable on different sides
x - 5 + 5 = x
3x + 1 - 3x = 1
x + 3x = 4x
1 - 5 = -4
4x = -4
lastly im going to divide each side by 4
4x / 4 = x
-4 / 4 = -1
x = -1
