Answer: 4y/(y+3)
Explanation:
{(2y)(4y-12)}/{(y-3)(2y+6)}
= (8y^2 - 24y)/(2y^2 + 6y - 6y - 18)
= (8y^2 - 24y)/(2y^2 - 18)
= {8y(y-3)}/{2(y+3)(y-3)}
= 2 * 4y/{2(y+3)}
= 4y/(y+3)
9) > cause 1 fl oz is .125 of a cup and multiply that by 96 which is 12 cups which is less than 13 cups
10)> cause 1 lb is 16 oz, multiply 16 by 25 which is 400, which is greater than 384 cups
11) = cause 1 yd is 36 in, so you would multiply 36 in by 8, which is 288 inches, which is the same
Area of the field should be 9*10 = 90 square feet.
a bag of grass seeds cover 15 square feet.
so if you need to know how many bags should be used, then,
Total area of field/ area covered by 1 bag of grass seeds.
= 90/15 = 6 bags
he needs to use 6 bags of grass seeds to cover the whole field.
I don't think there are any 'hidden' questions, though you can consider the 2nd part of the question I guess. (how many bags of seed will Paul...)
x + x + 3 + x - 8
3x - 5 = 55
3x = 60, x = 20
Since we put Julie as x, we put Janet at x + 3, and the brother is x - 8 (8 years younger)
Julie is 20
Janet (x + 3) = (20 + 3) = 23
Brother(x - 8) = (20 - 8) = 12
