Because you seem to have an understanding of the material, I will write my math, but no explanations for my work. Comment on this answer for an explanation, or if I did something wrong.

1. Find the length of the South side of the field.

$(5x+2)+(x^2-9)+(x^2-7x+12)\\5x+2+x^2-9+x^2-7x+12\\2x^2+5x+2-9-7x+12\\2x^2-2x+2-9+12\\2x^2-2x+5$

2.Find the perimeter of the pumpkin field.

$2(5x+2)+2(5x-2)\\(5x+2)+(5x+2)+(5x-2)+(5x-2)\\20x+4-4\\20x$

3. Find the perimeter of the whole field.

$2(4x+5x-2)+2(5x+2+x^2-9+x^2-7x+12)\\2(9x-2)+2(2x^2-2x-5)\\18x-4+4x^2-4x+10\\4x^2+14x+6$

4. If $x=30ft$ , what is the total perimeter?

$P=4x^2+14x+6\\P=4(30)^2+14(30)+6\\P=4(900)+420+6\\P=1026ft$

Random Tangent:

If you want to involve $y$ in finding these answers for whatever reason, your math is going to get messy. Here's what I tried before I realized you could multiply each side by $2$ to get the total perimeter:

$xy+1+x+6=4x+5x-2\\xy-8x=-9\\x(y-8)=-9\\y-8=-\frac{9}{x}\\y=-\frac{9}{x}+8$

Now the other side. This one's even worse.

$xy-1+6x+x=5x+2+x^2-9+x^2-7x+12\\xy+9x-2x^2=5\\x(y+9+2x)=5\\2x+9+y=\frac{5}{x}\\y=\frac{5}{x}-2x-9$

At this point, was realizing I wasn't going about the problem correctly, but did one last try by setting $y=y$ . At this point in the equation, I simply had to stop, both due to complexity and technological problems.

$\frac{5}{x}-2x-9=-\frac{9}{x}+8\\\frac{14}{x}=2x+17\\ 14=2x^2+17x\\0=2x^2+17x-13\\$

I could possibly continue to solve, but I don't see a point. It was clear that this was NOT the right path to take finding the perimeter. It was here I realized that I could just multiply the two sides without $y$ in them by $2$ and--without as much difficulty--reach the correct answer.

Explain step by step =) Harry rides his bike 25 3/8 miles. Karen rides her bike 25 2/5 miles. Who rides farther?

Alex

To answer this question we need to use subtraction.
we need to make the denominators the same.
In order to make them the same we need to find the least common multiple, of 8 and 5.
The least common multiple(the smallest shared value of the two numbers) is 40.

Next we divide our old denominator 5 by 40, which gives us 8, we multiply 8 by the numerator 2, which gives us 16. So now we have 16/20. We have to do the same to the other side. 8÷40 = 5. 5 x 3 = 15. Now we have 15/20.

Now we have a brand new equation, 16/40 - 15/40. The answer is 1/40.
In a fraction the answer is 1/40, so Karen rides her bike further.

In decimal form the answer is 0.025.

I hope this helps!
