20 times 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8=5/8 times 4 because of the four pots = 20
The watch costed $400 before the discount.
76 * 100 = 7,600
7,600 / 19 = 400
Answer:
1a) Length = 7x + 3 & Width = 4x - 2
1b) Area = 
1c) Area = 2774 sq. m
2. 
Step-by-step explanation:
1a)
The length given as words is "3 more than 7 times x"
The width given as words is "4 times x minus 2"
The expression for length would be 7x + 3
The expression for width would be 4x - 2
1b)
The area is length * width
Since we already know the algebraic expressions for length and width from part (a) above, we use the formula:
Area = (7x+3)(4x-2) = 28x^2 -14x + 12x - 6 = 28x^2 -2x -6
Area = 
1c)
Given x = 10, we put this into the area expression we found in (b) above.Let's see:

Area = 2774 sq. m

We can group the first two terms and next two terms and write up:

That's the factored form.
