Let s original sides, l length, w width:

s+8=l

s-3=w

lw= 126in²

substitute:

(s+8)(s-3)=126

s²+5s-24=126

s²+5x-150=0

(s-10)(s+15)

s=10

each side is 10 inches

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

<em>D </em><em>$0.60</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since <em>a dozen is equal to 12</em>, we will first <em>multiply $2.75 by 12</em>, and we get <em>$33</em>.  Now <em>subtract $33 by $25.80</em> dollars, which is <em>$7.2.</em>  Now we know that we saved <em>$7.2 </em>out of a dozen cupcake's, but we have to find <em>how much we saved on </em><u><em>each</em></u><em> cupcake</em>.  So lets <em>divide $7.2 by 12</em> and we get <em>$0.60. </em> Therefore, you saved <em>$0.60</em> on each cupcake.
