Solve the equation. Isolate the variable, x.
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, subtract 8 and 10x from both sides:
2x (-10x) + 8 (-8) = 12 (-8) + 10x (-10x)
2x - 10x = 12 - 8
Simplify. Combine like terms:
(2x - 10x) = (12 - 8)
-8x = 4
Isolate the variable, x. Divide -8 from both sides:
(-8x)/-8 = (4)/-8
x = -(4/8)
Simplify:
x = -1/2
-1/2 is your answer for x.

9.23 is less than 9.32 because .32 is more than .23
If it's already a negative number it's going to stay as a negative number
A = L * W
A = 50
L = 2W
50 = W(2W)
50 = 2W^2
50/2 = W^2
25 = W^2
sqrt 25 = W
5 = W
L = 2W
L = 2(5)
L = 10 <==length is 10 yd
