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.

Reggie currently has a square shaped rug in his living room. The side lengths of square are all equal. The length of a side of a square is given to be x feet.
So length and width of current rug are x feet and x feet respectively.

For his new room, he needs a rug that is 2 feet shorter in width than his current rug. So the width of new rug will be (x - 2) feet. The length of his new rug will be 5 feet more than the length of his current rug. So the length of new rug will be (x + 5) feet.

The new rug will have unequal length and width, hence it will be rectangular in shape. The area of new rug will be:

Area = Length x Width

y = (x + 5)(x - 2) square feet

This equation represents the Area of the rug Reggie needs for his new room.

Mean: add all the numbers, then dived the sum by hwo many numbers there are.
72.3 + 74.5 + 81.1 + 72.3 + 75.6 + 79 = 754.8
754.8 ÷ 6 = 75.8
Mean = 75.8°

Median: Put all the number in order from lowest to highest. The middle number is the median. If there are two numbers in the middle, add them then divide the sum by 2.
72.3, 72.3, 74.5, 75.6, 79, 81.1
74.5 + 75.6 = 150.1
150.1 ÷ 2 = 75.05 ~ 75
Median = 75°

The city library donated some children’s books to Mr.
azamat

According to the statement 160 books were given to the class.

The correct option is C.

<h3>What is linear equation?</h3>

One or two variables make up a linear equation. Neither the numerator nor the denominator of a fraction can be a variable in a linear equation raised to a power higher than 1. All of the points on a coordinate grid sit on the same line when you identify the values that together make a linear equation true and plot those values.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

Let the no. of students be s:

Let the no. of books be b:

Given that there will be 20 books left after each student selects 4 books,

b = 4s + 20

And the remaining students take 5 books each, therefore b=5(s3), even if 3 pupils choose not to take a book.

comparing the value b

4s+20=5(s−3)

4s+20=5s−15

s=20+15

s=35

To do this, change the value of s in b=4s+20 to what is shown below:

b=4(35)+20

b=140+20

b=160

160 books were given to the class.
