Step-by-step explanation:
Rounds to 291.7
Because a rectangular pyramid's base is square, the cross section would be as well
To solve this, you will have to set up your equation as fractions:
X is to 4 as 4 is to 4+3, or 7
X/4 = 4/7
You will then cross multiply
7x = 4•4
7x = 16
Divide.
X = 2.285714...
Round to the nearest hundredth.

Let s=number of seeds and t=number of days...
st=120 and (s+10)(t-2)=120
From the first we can say t=120/s, now using this value of t in the second equation gives us:
(s+10)(120/s-2)=120
(s+10)(120-2s)/s=120
(s+10)(120-2s)=120s
120s-2s^2+1200-20s=120s
2s^2+20s-1200=0
s^2+10s-600=0
(s+30)(s-20)=0, since s>0
s=20, and since she planted s+10 seeds per day to finish two days earlier:
20+10=30
She planted 30 seeds per day.
