5m-8=3m+8
(Plus the '8' to both sides)
5m=3m+16
(Subtract '3m' from both sides)
2m=16
(Divide by 2)
m=8
89.04 is 84% of 106
106*.84=106
4 times what equals 9. Well let's do this backwards. 9/4 equals 2.25 or 2 1/4 and 2 1/4 + 3 = 5 1/4. x=5 1/4. 4(5 1/4 - 3) = 9. Hoped I helped!

Answer:
14.4 or 15 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of yards covered by x bags is ...
