Reggie currently has a square rug in his living room. He is moving soon and has determined that for his new living room, he will

need a rug that has a width that is two feet shorter than his current rug and a length that is five feet longer than his current rug. Let x represents the side measure of Reggie's current rug, in feet. Determine the equation that represents the area, y, in square feet, of the rug needed for his new living room.
y = x2 + 3x - 10


y = x2 - 7x + 10


y = x2 - 3x - 10


y = x2 + 7x + 10

<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

y = x^{2} + 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Reggies rug is square, this means that there is a constant, x, that stays the same, because x * x = area of square

The new rug is 2 feet shorter than his current one, so this would be (x - 2). As the rug is also 5 feet longer than his current one, this would make it (x + 5).

<h3>To find the equation that represents the area, the area needs to be found using </h3><h3>Length x Width = Area</h3>

So simply plug the values into this equation:

(x - 2)(x + 5) = area

= (x * x) + (x * 5) + (-2 * x) + (-2 * 5)

= x^{2} + 5x + -2x + -10

A plus and a minus makes a negative:

x^{2} + 5x  -2x  -10

5x - 2x = 3x

<h3>So this would result in the end answer being:</h3>

x^{2} + 3x - 10

What is 18/48 simplify
Y_Kistochka [10]
Hmm they're both even numbers so maybe we can start by cutting each number in half.
\rm \dfrac{18}{48}=\dfrac{9\cdot2}{24\cdot2}=\dfrac{9}{24}
18 and 48 had 2 as a common factor.
So factoring a 2 out of each number was the same as cutting each number in half. Try to do something similar with the 9 and 24. They each have something in common.

A group of 4 students share 8/12 of a pizza how many pieces will each student get?
TEA [102]

Answer:

1/6 of a pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to take the amount of pizza and divide by the number of students

8/12 ÷ 4

Copy dot flip

8/12 * 1/4

8/48

Divide the top and bottom by 8

1/6

Each person will get 1/6 of a pizza

I do not know how many slices because it depends on how many slices each pizza is cut into.
