We know that 1 lb = 16 oz
So lets convert the 20 lb to oz and then compare the two quantities in consistent units.
If 1 lb = 16 oz then 20 lb are equal to 20*16 oz, that is
20 lb = 20*16 oz = 320 oz
therefore,
320 oz are greater than 272 oz, or,
20 lb are greater that 272 oz
<h3><u>Part A: An equation to represent this situation, where x represents the original length of the rectangle is:</u></h3>

<h3><u>Part B: Original length of the rectangle is 12 inches</u></h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
A rectangle has a width of 2.5
Therefore,
width = 2.5 inches
Let "x" be the original length of the rectangle
When the length of this rectangle is decreased by 5 inches
Therefore,
New length = x - 5
The new area of the rectangle is 17.5 square inches
Therefore,
<em><u>The area of rectangle is given as:</u></em>


Thus original length of the rectangle is 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. x^2 - 6x - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
FOIL it
x * x = x^2
2 * x = 2x
-8 * x = -8x
2 * -8 = -16
x^2 + 2x - 8x - 16. combine like terms
x^2 - 6x - 16
