Find square footage of his yard
assuming is is roughtly a rectangle
area of rectangle=length times width
length=20ft
width=12 ft
area=length times width=20 times 12= 240 square feet
how many packages?
1 pack times x is at least 240
1 pack times x>240
50 times x>240
divide both sides by 50
x>4.8
you can't buy 0.8 pack, so round up
5 packs needed
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Y=9(x^2+3x-x-3)
y=9(x^2+2x-3)
y=9x^2+18x-27
        
             
        
        
        
Hope this helps!! I just distributed when needed and solved for the unknown variable
 
        
        
        
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
the first sequence starts
4 12 (3*4) 36 (3*12) 108 (3*36) ...
the second sequence starts
20 28 (8+20) 36 (8+28) 44 (8+36) ...
so, just by writing down a few elements you can see it already. 
I knew it already before that just by thinking "the first sequence has only numbers that can be divided by 3. what is the first number of the second sequence that can be also divided by 3 ? oh, yeah, 36 !"
