The Davis family is going to reseed the grass in the backyard. Their yard is irregularly shaped with a cement patio and rectangular garden as shown below. Given that the family will not need grass seed for the patio or the garden areas, what is the total area of the land will they be reseeding?

1,482 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Find total area - 37 x 46 = 1,702

Find area of patio and garden - 16 x 10 = 160 for the patio, 12 x 5 = 60 for the garden

Subtract from total area - 1702 - 160 = 1542, 1542 - 60 = 1,482 sq ft

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
