We can solve this equation by using the Square Root Method.
First, take the square root of each side of the equation:
(x-8)^2 = 144 becomes x-8 = 12
Then add 8 to both sides.
x=20
The original lawn was d. 20 feet by 20 feet.
I loaf lemons and y+84-0 and you will get your awnser but you need to 2+y
Multiply the top and bottom by 2
6/14 = 12/28
now solving for the 2nd part is more difficult i would use cross multiply and divide . Multiply 6 and 12 which equals 72 then divide by 14 which will get you 5.142857 or 5 36/7= 71/14
