The length of a rectangle is (x-8) units, and its width is(x+11) units. What is an expression for this.

(x²+3x-88) square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Given

length of a rectangle is (x-8)units

Its width is (x+11) units.

Required

Expression for the area of the rectangle

Substituting the given function into the formula.

Area of the rectangle = (x-8)(x+11)

Area of the rectangle = x(x)+11x-8x-88

Area of the rectangle = x²+3x-88

Hence the expression that represents the area of the rectangle is x²+3x-88 units²

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
