The carpet's proportions are 8 feet x 12 feet. If the carpet is to be 2 feet wide, we have to divide the original proportions by 4, since 8/4 = 2. So, the new proportions will be 2 feet x 3 feet.

To find the carpet's area, we must multiply the width and the length. So, the final answer is:

Area = 2 x 3 = 6 square feet

PLEASE HELP! I have a deadline tonight ,I have to get this done! thank you!!<br> Two questions (:
Viktor [21]
Both of your answers are correct. In the first equation, if you were to substitute 3 for x, because you have to do exponents first, you have 3^2, which is 9, and 9*6 =54. If you were to substitute -3 for x again you would have to do the exponents first which would be -3^2 which is 9, and 9*6 = 54. 

For the second question, if I substitute 0.75 for t, I get -9 + 18 + 7. This is equal to 16, and therefore the answer would be D. Hope this helps! :D. Let me know if you have questions about my explanation, and feel free to post more questions.
