Answer:
20 x 20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First I just drew out two squares, one was the first un-cut square and the second is the cut one. Since we know that the area of the smaller square is 144, and Area is just side^2 , we know that all the sides of the smaller square are 12. Now, all we have to do is add 8 to 12 to get the original lawn. The original lawn was a 20 x 20 ft lawn.
So let's start from the beginning.
Add 2 and 4:
(2 + 4)
Multiply the sum by 3:
3(2 + 4)
Then add 5 to that product:
3(2 + 4) + 5
Then double the results:
2[3(2 + 4) + 5]
X = 2
18 / 3 = 2
2 * 6 = 6
6 + 6 + 6 = 18
Hope this helps.
96 and 2 cause they are WAY off.
