A(3x-8)=0

a=0 and x=8/3

This second line is not necessarily true. We could have a=0 OR x=8/3. They don't both have to be 0. a(3x-8)=b-18x

No solutions found

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

a*(3*x-8)-(b-18*x)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

a • (3x - 8) - (b - 18x) = 0
Step 2 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

3ax - 8a + 18x - b = 0
Step 3 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.1 Solve 3ax-8a+18x-b = 0

Do the information on a bag of fertilizer 5 pounds of fertilizer are needed for every two square feet of lawn how many square fe

gregori [183]

Answer:

25 lb bag of fertilizer can cover <u>10 square feet</u> of lawn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

5 pounds of fertilizer cover = 2 $ft^2$ of the lawn

We need to find the 25 lb bag cover.

Solution:

Now we know that;

5 pounds of fertilizer = 2 $ft^2$ of yard.

1 lb of fertilizer = Number of $ft^2$ lawn covered by 1 lb fertilizer.

Using Unitary method we get;

Number of $ft^2$ lawn covered by 1 lb fertilizer = $\frac{2}{5}\ ft^2$

Now we can say that;

1 lb of fertilizer = $\frac{2}{5}\ ft^2$ of the yard

25 lb of fertilizer = Number of $ft^2$ lawn covered by 25 lb fertilizer.

Again by using Unitary method we get;

Number of $ft^2$ lawn covered by 25 lb fertilizer. = $\frac{2}{5}\times 25 = 10 \ ft^2$

Hence 25 lb bag of fertilizer can cover <u>10 square feet</u> of lawn.
