Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication and find the reciprocal(multiplicative inverse) of the second fraction

Answer:
x ≈ - 10.65, x ≈ - 5.35
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x + 8)² - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
(x + 8)² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 8 = ±
( subtract 8 from both sides )
x = - 8 ±
, thus
x = - 8 -
≈ - 10.65
x = - 8 +
≈ - 5.35
If you enter this into a math solver it with solve it for you
The area of the large box is x^2 and the area of the small box is 3^2 which is 9. So the area of the leftover part is x^2-9 or (x-3)(x+3).
Hope that helped.
