Jillian is trying to save water, so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 feet on each side. The area of the smaller lawn is 144 square feet. In the equation (x – 8)2 = 144, x represents the side measure of the original lawn.

The answer is 20 feet by 20 feet. Let's solve the equation: (x – 8)^2 = 144. (x - 8)^2 = 12^2. Since a^2 = b^2 is the same as a = b, then (x - 8)^2 = 12^2 can be simplified to: x - 8 = 12. Now, solve for x. x = 8 + 12. x = 20. Therefore, the dimensions of the original lawn were 20 feet by 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.0076, if you meant 4.125 divided by 0.03125 it would be 132

step-by-step explanation:

first you have to move the decimal in 0.03125 over until its behind the 5 which is 5 places over. now the number is 3125

then you have to move the decimal in 4.125, 5 places over. now the number is 4,112,500.

now you divide like you would normally would and get 0.0076
