A pasture with horses and goats has a width of 1/4 mile. The length of the pasture is
represented by x + 8 . Which pair of expressions
represents the area of the pasture and uses the
distributive property to show equivalence?

x=-31/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 =x+8

Step 1: Flip the equation.

x+8=

1

4

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.

x+8−8=

1

4

−8

-3.5 degrees per hour
