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.

I know how do it but the fraction is confusing me please help will give branliest
Tomtit [17]

Replace x and y in the equation with what they tell you x and y equal.

2(14) / 13 - 9(1/3)

Now simplify:

2 x 14 = 28

9 x 1/3 = 3

You now have:

28/13-3

Simplify again to het 28/10 this can be reduced to 14/5

3. Growth of Cholera bacteria. Suppose that the cholera bacteria in a colony grows unchecked according to the Law of Exponential
Elza [17]

Answer:

2.814 * 10^14

Step-by-step explanation:

For exponential growth:

A = A0*e^kt

A = final amount ; A0 = initial amount ; t = time

Since bacterium doubles ever half hour ;

In 1 hour number of bacterium will be 2² = 4

Hence

Final amount after 1 hour

4 = 1*e^k*1

4 =e^k

Take In of both sides

In(4) = k

Number of bacterium in 24 hours

A = 1*e^In4 * 24

A = e^24In4

A = e^33.271064

A = 281474976710656

A = 2.814 * 10^14
