A bag of fertilizer covers 3000 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular lawn 230 feet by 180 feet

14 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of lawn : 230 feet by 180 feet

area of rectangle is given by length * width

Since lawn is rectangular area of lawn = 230 feet * 180 feet = 41,400 sq. feet

Given that one bag of fertilizer covers 3000 square feet of lawn.

Thus , to find no. of bags required to cover whole lawn will be

total area of lawn/area which one bag of  fertilizer covers

no. of bags required to cover whole lawn = 41,400 sq. feet/3000 sq. feet

    = 13.8 bags.

As no. of bags cannot be fractional , hence rounding bag to nearest unit place is 14 bags.

i'm sure goog can you get that answer

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
