8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)
(distribute the 6)
8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48
(combine like terms 25 - 48)
8a - 4 = 6a - 23
( subtract 6a from both sides)
2a - 4 = -23
(add 4 to both sides)
2a = -19
(divide both sides by 2)
a = - 9.5
////CHECK/////
8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)
(plug each side into a calculator)
-80 = -80
FINAL ANSWER:
a = -9.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Scale Factor = 5
Also,
B'C' = 24 feet
Since both are squares so both have all sides equal.
Sqaure A'B'C'D' is dilated by a scale factor of 5
So,
AB = BC = CD = DA = 24/5 = 4.8 ft.
So if they lost 2 yards on the first play and on the following three plays they lost 2 yards they lost 4 yards total because it doesnt say they lost 2 yards on each of the three play so they would only lose 4 yards
