Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation can be derived from the question
let a represent the initial number Gus started with
{[(a x 8) - 12] / 4 } + 7 = 50
subtract 7 from both sides of the equation
[(a x 8) - 12] / 4 } = 43
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4
(a x 8) - 12] = 172
Add 12 to both sides
8a =184
Divide both sides by 8
a = 23.
If x=15 then x=30 if y=6 then y=12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for complete question
From the question, we understand that one shrub must be at both ends.
Taking the first as a point of reference, we're left with:
Substitute 10 for n and d for distance
Hence:
answers the question
Let the width of the yard be w.
Since the length is 18feet longer, l = w + 18
Perimeter for rectangle = 2(l + w)
2(l + w) = 72
2(w+18 + w) = 72 Divide 2 on both sides
(w + 18 + w) = 36
2w + 18 = 36
2w = 36 - 18
2w = 18 Divide 2 on both sides
w = 18/2
w = 9
Recall, length l = w + 18, l = 9 + 18 = 27
Hence width, w = 9, length,l = 27
Area of rectangle = l × w = 27 × 9 = 243
Area of rectangular yard = 243 square feet.
