Because it will not be 40 percent of the original, since after 20 percent is gone, the next year itll be 20 percent of the product, instead of the original, so for example, if it was 100, it would go down to 80, and then the next year it would be 20 percent of 80, not 100
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to multiply the given polynomials.

Multiply each term of the first polynomial to each term of the second polynomial.



Add the results

Combine the like terms

The answer is written in descending powers of x.
(10y - 4) + (7y + 8) + (7y - 5) + (4y - 5) =
= 10y - 4 + 7y + 8 + 7y - 5 + 4y - 5 =
= 10y + 7y + 7y + 4y - 4 + 8 - 5 - 5 = <u>2</u><u>8</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>6</u>
So 81/9=9 so area of pantry is 9
3 times x=9
3x=9
divide both sides by 3
x=3
