<span>With the bag having 4/5 lb currently in it, this can be translated to 16/20 lb. Maria wants to scoop out sand until the bag has 1/2 lb, which is 10/20 lb. The scoop that Maria uses is 1/20 lb, so using the equation of 16-10 = 6, Maria can get 6 scoops of sand before the bag contains 1/2 lb.</span>
The answer would be the top left one, and the correct answer would be 17/8 or 2 1/8.
What are you trying to find X or Y ?
The answer is 0 < x <span>≤ 7
</span>
First, we know that width = x
Which means that length = x +18
So, the possible equation for the Table's area is
X (X + 18) ≤ 175
X^2 + 18x - 175 <span>≤ </span>0
Next, we need to calculate is by using complete square method
x^2 + 18x + 81 <span>≤ 175 + 81
(x + 9)^2 </span><span>≤ 256
|x + 9| </span><span>≤ sqrt(256)
|x + 9| </span><span>≤ +-16
-16 </span>≤ x + 9 <span>≤ 16
</span>-16 - 9 ≤ x <span>≤ 16 - 9
</span>-25 ≤ x <span>≤ 7
Since the width couldn't be negative, we can change -25 with 0,
so it become
</span> 0 < x ≤ 7
