11. The rectangle has a width of 8 in, a length of x-5 in, and an area of 16 in). Solve for x. Hint: label the figure.
x-sin
sin

Use the area of rectangle formula which is:

Given that:

Substitute in the formula:

Distribute 8 in the expression:

Move -40 to another side and change from -40 to 40.

Then move 8 to divide 56, leaving only x.

Hence, the answer is:

7 weeks

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
