Area of the rectangular yard = 96 square feet
Let us assume the length of the yard = x feet
Width of the yard = x - 4 feet
Then
Area of the yard = length * width
96 = x(x - 4)
96 = x^2 - 4x
x^2 - 4x - 96 = 0
x^2 - 12x + 8x - 96 = 0
x(x - 12) +8(x - 12) = 0
(x - 12)(x + 8) = 0
As the value of length cannot be negative so
x - 12 = 0
x = 12
So
Length of the yard = 12 feet
Width of the yard = x - 4 feet
                             = 12 - 4 feet
                             = 8 feet
Then
Perimeter of the yard = 2 (length + width)
                                   = 2(12 + 8)
                                   = 2 * 20 feet
                                   = 40 feet.
So the perimeter of the yard  is 40 feet.

Masja [62]

The given expression is : p - 21 = 34

Smplify the equation for p :

p - 21 = 34

Add 21 on both side :

p - 21 + 21 = 34 + 21

p = 55

p = 55

Answer : p = 55

Here is an expression: 3⋅2 Evaluate the expression when is 1. Evaluate the expression when is 4.
zmey [24]

Answer:

1.) 5

2.) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

the expression - 3x + 2

1.)

Evaluate the expression when x is 1

⇒ 3x + 2 = 3(1) + 2 = 3+2 = 5

2.)

Evaluate the expression when x is 4

⇒ 3x + 2 = 3(4) + 2 = 12+2 = 14

In a class of P students, the average of test scores is 70. In another class the average test scores is 92. When scores of the t
Basile [38]

So, since averages are defined as:

\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{P} P_k}{P}=70

So, since P are the total number of elements and P_k is the P_kth student. This is saying if we sum over each student's score and divide it by the number of students, we should get P, which is true.

So, using that logic, the other class can be represented as:

\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{N} N_k}{N}=70

We can take both of these equations and multiply them by N:

\sum_{k=1}^{P} P_k=70P

\sum_{k=1}^N N_k=92N

So, if we want to find the average of this we should add both our equations then divide by P+N, which is the number of all the students.

\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{P} P_k+\sum_{k=1}^{N}N_k}{N+P}=\frac{70P+92N}{N+P}

To make this simpler we can replace our LHS with 86, since that's the average of both classes combined.

86=\frac{92N+70P}{N+P} \implies\\ 86N+86P=92N+70P \implies \\ 16P=6N \implies \\ \frac{16P}{N}=6 \implies \\ \frac{P}{N}=\frac{6}{16}

Simplified we would have P/N=3/8.
