Answer:
The 6 people would each get 5lb. of beans. 5 lies between 4 and 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the answer to this problem, all you have to do is divide the total pounds of beans by how many people there are. 30 ÷ 6= 5, so each person would get 5 pounds. Since 5 comes between 4 & 6, you can use that as your answer.
The picture is incomplete and the width is missing.
I am going to show you how to do it using any width.
The length shown is x + 4 and the width starts with - x.
Assume the width is - x + a.
Then the area of the rectangle with dimensions x + 4 and - x + a is calculated in this way:
1) given: (x + 4) (- x + a)
2) use distribuitive property: (x)(-x) + (x)(a) + (4)(-x) + (4)(a)
= - x^2 +ax -4x + 4a
3) Combine like terms: - x^2 + (a -4)x + 4a
If the polynomial missing were - x + 7, the answer would be:
- x^2 + (7 -4)x + 4(7) = - x^2 + 3x + 28
With this you are able to get the answer using the real values.
