Answer:

1210 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the old farmland be x acres

new farmland = 968 acres

therefore

let us find 20% of the old farmland

=20/100x

=0.2x

Hence

968+0.2x=x

collect like terms

968=x-0.2x

968=0.8x

x= 968/0.8

x=1210 acres

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?
seraphim [82]

Given:

The pair of expressions in the options.

To find:

The pair that shows equivalent expressions.

Solution:

We have,

2\left(\dfrac{2}{5}x+2\right)

By using distributive property, we get

2\left(\dfrac{2}{5}x+2\right)=2\left(\dfrac{2}{5}x\right)+2(2)

2\left(\dfrac{2}{5}x+2\right)=\dfrac{4}{5}x+4

So, option A is incorrect and option B is correct.

We have,

2\left(\dfrac{2}{5}x+4\right)

By using distributive property, we get

2\left(\dfrac{2}{5}x+4\right)=2\left(\dfrac{2}{5}x\right)+2(4)

2\left(\dfrac{2}{5}x+4\right)=\dfrac{4}{5}x+8

So, options C and D both are incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
