Aplot of land for sale has a width of x ft. and a length that is 8 ft. less than its width. a farmer will only purchase the
land if it measures 240 ft2. what value for x causes the farmer to purchase the land?

The value for x causes the farmer to purchase the land should be 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A plot of land for sale has a width of x ft. and a length that is 8 ft. less than its width.

i.e. Length of filed = x-8 ft

A farmer will only purchase the  land if it measures 240 ft².

i.e. Area should be 240 ft².

Area of field = Length x width

Put values , we get

So , x= 20 , width cannot be negative.

Therefore , the value for x causes the farmer to purchase the land should be 20.

hello :

70y^8 + 30y^6 = 2 ( 35 y^8 + 15y^6)

the lenght is : 35 y^8

the width is : 15y^6

i believe a. 12x≥120 is the answer
