Answer:
See the Answer Below:) I am certain this is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root of 81 is 9
Your answer is <em>9
</em>Work:
9 x 9 = 81
Part A: 16x=M
Part B: 16x+TY=M
Part C: 16x=580
/16 /16
x=36.25
Mary worked 36 hours and 25 minutes
5.5-3b = 2b-6.25
5.5+6.25 = 2b+3b
11.75 = 5b
11.75/5 = 5b/5
2.35 = b
Answer:

Since the measurement can't be negative the correct answer for this case would be 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the figure attached illustrate the situation.
For this case the we know that the original area given by:

And we know that the initial area is a half of the entire area in red
, so then:

And we know that the area for a rectangular pieces is the length multiplied by the width so we have this:

We multiply both terms using algebra and the distributive property and we got:

And we can rewrite the expression like this:

And we can solve this using the quadratic formula given by:

Where
if we replace we got:

And the two possible solutions are then:

Since the measurement can't be negative the correct answer for this case would be
