Answer:

252 bags of maize

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize

In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize

In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4

This means

3:4 = 2013: 2012.

Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x

3/4 = x/ 144

Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144

x = 3 × 144/ 4

× = 108

This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013

The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144

= 252 bags of maize.

Write a simplified polynomial expression in standard form to represent the area of the rectangle below.
Stells [14]

Answer:

5x^{2} -18x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a rectange is lw, where l is length and w is width.  Since x-4 and 5x+2 are the sides, we can multiply them together to give us the area.  We do (x-4)(5x+2).  We use the FOIL method (First Outside Inside Last) and get 5x^2-18x-8.

3³+1x9+12 answer please, I really think it's 48.
UNO [17]

Answer:

You are correct the answer is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin solving this question you would want to start simplifying it to make it more understandable.

3^3 is 27 which now gives you 27 + 1 x 9 +12 which makes it easier to solve.

Then you would take 1 x 9 = 9 (multiply left to right)

Now it is simple addition

27 + 9 + 12 = 48

Hopefully this helps.
