12 + 2 - (4 × 5^2) ÷ 7 + 1
12 + 2 - (4 × 25) ÷ 7 + 1
12 + 2 - 100 ÷ 7 + 1
12+2-100/7+1
15-100/7
Equal 5/7
Rise over run 5 is rise and 7 is run
a) Polynomial equation that represents total area can be written as,
as per figure,
dimension are as follows,
Length =
, Breadth = 
∴ Area = Length x Breadth =
x 
So we get equation as,
= 
b) Total area of flower bed when width of border is 1.5 feet
width of border is value of x
∴ x = 1.5 feet
by substituting value of x in equation we get,
Total area = 9 + 33 + 30 = 72 feet
I think that each paint would have a same amount so divide 3 by 2, then you get 1.5 ounces per color.
It is 6 and 8 because:
P=6+6+8+8 which is 28
and
A=6×8 which is 48
