The value of y is 5

<h3>How to determine the value </h3>

From the given line, it can be concluded that:

The segment RT is divided into RS and ST

But we have the following parameters

The length of the sides are:

RS=4y+4
ST=3y+4
RT=43

Since RT is RS added to ST:

We have;

RT = RS + ST

substitute the values

43 = 4y + 4 + 3y + 4

collect like terms

43 = 4y + 3y + 4 + 4

Add like terms

43 = 7y + 8

Make '7y' subject of formula

7y = 43 - 8

7y = 35

Make 'y' the subject of formula

y = 35/ 7

y = 5

Thus, the value of y is 5

The Johnsons want to cover their backyard with new grass. Their backyard is rectangular, with a length of 3x – 5 feet and a widt

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

Their backyard is rectangular, with a length of 3x – 5 feet and a width of 4x – 10 feet. This means that the area of the backyard is

(3x - 5)(4x - 10)

= 12x² - 30x - 20x + 15

= (12x² - 50x + 15) square feet

Their rectangular swimming pool, along with its surrounding patio, has dimensions of x + 8 by x – 2 feet. This means that the area occupied by the swimming pool and its surrounding patio is

(x + 8)(x - 2)

= x² - 2x + 8x - 16

= x² + 6x - 16

Assuming the swimming pool and its surrounding patio will not be covered with new grass, then the area of the region of the yard that they want to cover with new grass is

12x² - 50x + 15 - (x² + 6x - 16)

= 12x² - 50x + 15 - x² - 6x + 16

= 12x² - x² - 50x - 6x + 15 + 16

= 11x² - 56x + 31 square feet

What is the value of the expression 8p4

Nady [450]

ANSWER

$8P_4 = 1680$

EXPLANATION

We use the formula

$nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!}$

For

$8P_4$

and n=8, r=4.

$8P_4= \frac{8!}{(8- 4)!}$

This simplifies to

$8P_4= \frac{8!}{4!}$

We expand the numerator using factorial notation,

$8P_4= \frac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4!}{4!}$

The common factors cancel out.

$8P_4= 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5$

$8P_4= 1680$

Section 208 of nassau veterans Memorial Coliseum has 17 rows. The first row has 13 seats in it. If you add two seats to the prev

STatiana [176]

Row 15 has 41 seats, and the entire section has 493 seats.

We can write the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence to represent this, since we add 2 each time:

13+2(n-1)

Using 15 for n,
13+2(15-1) = 13+2(14) = 13+28 = 41

To find the total number of seats, we evaluate the sum
$\Sigma_{n=1}^{17} 13+2(n-1)$

Using technology to evaluate this sum, it is 493.
