I think the answer is <span>x=220</span>
<h2>Steps:</h2>
So for this, we will be completing the square to solve for m. Firstly, subtract 8 on both sides:

Next, divide both sides by 2:

Next, we want to make the left side of the equation a perfect square. To find the constant of this perfect square, divide the m coefficient by 2, then square the quotient. In this case:
-8 ÷ 2 = -4, (-4)² = 16
Add 16 to both sides of the equation:

Next, factor the left side:

Next, square root both sides of the equation:

Next, add 4 to both sides of the equation:

Now, while this is your answer, you can further simplify the radical using the product rule of radicals:
- Product rule of radicals: √ab = √a × √b
√12 = √4 × √3 = 2√3.

Answer:
-----×1/72
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>order of operations</em> says do these operations in order left to right. Please note that ÷ means the same as / unless you define it otherwise in your problem statement.
If you intend the ÷ symbol to be used to indicate everything to its left is divided by everything to its right, it is appropriate to use parentheses for that grouping, as in ...
(-----×1/4)÷(6×3/9) = (-----×1/4)÷2 = -----×1/8
_____
Here, we're going to evaluate what you have written according to the usual rules as described above.
(-----×1/4)÷6×3/9 = -----×1/24×3/9 = -----×(3/24)/9
= -----×1/8/9
= -----×1/72
_____
<em>Comment on the arithmetic</em>
Fractions are multiplied and divided in the usual way:
a/b×c = (a×c)/b
a/b/c = (a/b) × (1/c) = a/(b×c)
___
<em>Comment on fractions and parentheses</em>
Please note that parentheses are required on any numerator or denominator that consists of anything other than a single number or variable. (The exception is the case where the numerator is a product, because a·b/c = (a·b)/c with or without the parentheses.)
Divide everything by 8: 550/8=68.75, 250/8=31.25. The new dimensions are 68.75 inches by 31.25 inches :)
