Answer:
What is missing is -5x - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, simply solve for the parenthesis as if it were a variable of its own. This will allow you to see exactly what is missing.
8x - (x - 20) = 2x - (_______)
8x - x + 20 = 2x - (_______)
7x + 20 = 2x - (_______)
5x + 20 = - (_______)
-5x - 20 = (_______)
So the answer for the parenthesis is -5x - 20
The answer is 132. 132 is the original price. 80$ x 65% = 52. 80 + 52 = 132. So 132 is answer and original price.
Let

be the length of the rectangle and

be the width. In the problem it is given that

. It is also given that the area

. Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have

. Using the zero product property,

. Solving these we get the width

. However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be

. From that we can tell the length

.
