First you have to find out how much the sales tax is.

85.86(.08)=6.86

You have to subtract that number by 85.86

85.86-6.86=79

So the cost before tax on the shoes was 79$

We can solve this equation by using the Square Root Method.
First, take the square root of each side of the equation:
(x-8)^2 = 144 becomes x-8 = 12
Then add 8 to both sides.
x=20

The original lawn was d. 20 feet by 20 feet.

What is the product of 2x + y and 5x – y + 3?
hoa [83]

Answer:  The required product is 10x^2-y^2+3xy+6x+3y.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to find the product f the following two algebraic expressions:

E_1=2x+y,\\\\E_2=5x-y+3.

To find the product of the above two expressions, we must multiply each term of the first expression with each term of the second expression.

The multiplication is as follows:

M\\\\=E_1 \times E_2\\\\=(2x+y)\times(5x-y+3)\\\\=10x^2-2xy+6x+5xy-y^2+3y\\\\=10x^2-y^2+3xy+6x+3y.

Thus, the required product is 10x^2-y^2+3xy+6x+3y.
