<h3>Answer:  24</h3>

Explanation:

x = smaller number

8x = larger number, since it's 8 times larger than the smaller

8x-x = 7x = difference of the numbers

That difference is 21, so we can say 7x = 21 which solves to x = 3

The smaller number is 3 and the larger is 8x = 8*3 = 24

As a check: 24-3 = 21, which confirms the answer.

The company charges $5 per sq ft, AND has a minimum charge of 3 sq ft per order (meaning if a customer orders something SMALLER
Svetach [21]

Answer:

12 inches by 12 inches = 15 dollars

48 inches by 48 inches = 80 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

12 inches = 1 ft

so 12 inch by 12 inches  is 1 ft * 1 ft

1 ft* 1 ft

1 ft^2

This is smaller than 3 ft^2 so they will get charged for 3 ft^2

3 ft^2 = 3 ft^2 * $5 / ft^2 = 15 dollars

48 inches = 48/12 = 4 ft

4ft * 4 ft = 16 ft^2

16 ft^2 = 16 ft^2 * $5 / ft^2 = 80 dollars

The given trinomial can be factored using factorization as

x²-x-12
=x²-4x+3x-12
=x(x-4)+3(x-4)
=(x-4)(x+3)

Thus x-4 and x+3 are the factors of the given trinomial. From these we can see x+3 is listed in option A

So the answer to this question is Option A
