2 ≥ x ≥ -8 is how this inequality would be displayed.
First find out how many more inches it needs to grow, 54-37.5; It needs to grow 16.5 more inches. If it grows 3 inches a year then you have to do 16.5/3; 5.5. It will take 5.5 or 5 1/2 more years to grow to 54 inches.
AWNSER: B or 54
Hope this helps and Happy Friday!
Answer:
let dimention of original garden be x
then (x-8)(x-5) = 180
x^2 -13x -140 = 0
(x-20)(x+7)=0
x= 20 or x = -7
x = 20
original area = (20)^2
= 400 m^2
