8-3x=8
-3x=8-8=0
-3x=0
so x=0 since 0/-3 is still zero.

proof 8-3(0)=8
3×0=0
so8-0=8

Jillian is trying to save water, so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 feet on each side the area of the smaller

horsena [70]

Answer: 20 feet by 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that $x$ is the original measure of one side. Since it is a square, all its sides are equal.

2. Therefore, to solve the problem you only need to solve for $x$ , as you can see below:

- You have that:

$(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$

- Then, you obtain the following quadratic equation:

$(x-8)^{2} =144\\x^{2}-2(x)(8)+8^{2}=144\\x^{2}-16x-80=0$

- Apply the Quadratic formula to solve it:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\a=1\\b=-16\\c=-80$

- Then, you obtain:

$x_1=20\\x_2=-4$

3. The dimensions cannot be negative, therefore, the answer is: 20 feet by 20 feet.

If there are 400 ounces in 25 pounds, how many ounces are in 8 pounds

ladessa [460]

The answer is: " 128 oz. " .
_________________________________________________________
There are: " 128 oz. " (in " 8 lbs." ) .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Set up a proportion; as a fraction; as follows:
________________________________________________________

400/ 25 = x / 8 ;

in which: "x" = the number of "ounces [oz.] there are in "8 lbs." ;
________________________________________________________
We shall solve for "x" , the answer to the problem:

Cross-factor multiply:

25x = (400) * 8 ;

→ 25x = 3200 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "25" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→ 25x / 25 = 3200 / 25 ;

→ x = 128 .
_________________________________________________________
Answer: " 128 oz. " .
_________________________________________________________
There are: " 128 oz. " (in " 8 lbs." ) .
_________________________________________________________

Note of interest: " 16 oz. = 1 lb. " (exact conversion).

So; "8 lbs. = ? oz. " ;

→ " 8 lbs. * (16 oz/ 1 lb) = ( 8 * 16) oz. = 128 oz. ; → which is our answer!

At every company meeting, the president speaks for 20 minutes and then takes questions from her employees. Let q represent the n

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

t = 20 + q (minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

The meeting consists of speaking and Question & Answer (Q&A) sessions.

Speaking session = 20 minutes

Q&A session = q minutes

Total number of minutes spent for the two sessions = 20 + q (minutes)

But total number of minutes meeting lasted = t minutes.

Therefore, t = 20 + q (because they both represent the total number of minutes the meeting lasted)
