Answer:

180x - x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the yard has 360 yd. of fencing, hence the perimeter of Rick's lumberyard has 360 yd.

Given that the yard is x yards long. Let y represent the width of the yard. Hence:

Perimeter of the yard = 2(length + width) = 2(x + y)

Substituting:

360 = 2(x + y)

180 = x + y

y = 180 - x

Therefore the width of the yard is (180 - x) yard.

The area of the yard is the product of the length and the width, hence:

Area (A) = length * width

A = x * (180 - x)

A = 180x - x²

Carson has two cans of red paint. The first can contains 3 pints of red paint. The second can contains 4 16 pints of red paint.
allsm [11]

Answer: 1⁵/₈ pints

Step-by-step explanation:

First can contained 3¹/₄ pints and second can contained 6¹/₂.

To make them equal, first find the different;

= 6¹/₂ - 3¹/₄

= 6.5 - 3.25

= 3.25

Divide this difference by 2;

= 3.25/2

= 1.625

= 1⁶²⁵/₁₀₀₀

= 1⁵/₈ pints

If Carson pours 1⁵/₈ pints from the second Can, it would increase the first can to 4⁷/₈ pints whilst reducing the second can to 4⁷/₈ pints as well.

Can someone please help me on this one question?
Katyanochek1 [597]
A+30 = 60
a = 30

a + 2b = 60
30+2b = 60
2b = 30
b = 15

5b - 5c = 60
5(15) - 5c = 60
5c = 15
c = 3

10c + d = 60
10(3) + d = 60
30 + d = 60
d = 30

2d + 6e = 180 - 60
2(30) + 6e = 120
6e = 60
e = 10

4f + 4e = 120
4f + 4(10) = 120
4f = 80
f = 20
