Answer:

This lot is equivalent to 1.074 acres.

It can accommodate the construction of 2 houses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the lot are 260 ft \times 180 ft.

The configuration of the lot is rectangular.

Area of the lot (Length \times Width) is:

260 \times 180 \\\Rightarrow 46800\ ft^2

We know:

43,560\ ft^2 = 1\ acre\\1\ ft^2 = \dfrac{1}{43560\ acres}\\46800\ ft^2 = \dfrac{1}{43560} \times 46800\ acres\\\Rightarrow 1.074\ acres

Thus, 1.074 acres exist in this lot.

Each house requires \frac{1}{2} acres, and with ~1 acre available,

the town permits the construction of 2 houses.

Libby sold $60 worth of vegetables at the farmer's market. Jess sold 3/4ths of what Libby sold. Stephanie sold 1/3rd of what Jes
zzz [12365]

Answer:

$120.

Step-by-step breakdown:

Libby sold $60 worth of vegetables at the farmer's market.

Jess sold 3/4 of what Libby sold, so let's calculate that: 3/4 of 60.

\text{Jess sold}=60\times \frac{3}{4}

\text{Jess sold}=15\times 3

\text{Jess sold}=45

Thus, Jess made $45.

Now, Stephanie sold one-third of Jess's total, necessitating the calculation of one-third of 45.

\text{Stephanie sold}=45\times \frac{1}{3}

\text{Stephanie sold}=15

This means Stephanie sold $15 worth of vegetables.

Putting together Libby's, Jess's, and Stephanie's sales, we arrive at the collective total earned by all three.

\text{The total money earned by Libby, Jess and Stephanie}=60+45+15

\text{The total money earned by Libby, Jess and Stephanie}=120

Consequently, their total sales amount to $120.

How is subtracting polynomials similar to subtracting integers
Inessa [12570]
The process of subtracting polynomials resembles removing integers, as both involve regular subtraction. For instance, 3xy - 2xy results in 1xy. The same rules of subtraction apply when working with polynomials.

Which shows the factored form of x2 – 12x – 45?
AnnZ [12381]
Hello!

(x+a)·(x+b) equals x²+xa+xb+ab which simplifies to x²-12x-45

x² equals x²
xa+xb can be expressed as (a+b)x = -12x thus, (a+b) = -12
ab equals -45

Under what conditions do (a+b) equal -12 and ab equal -45?

+3-15 results in -12 while (+3)(-15) gives -45
-3-15 yields -18 and (-3)(-15) results in +45
+3+15 produces +18 and (+3)(+15) also equal to +45
-3+15 equals +12 and (-3+15) results in -45

Conclusion:

(x+3)(x-15)

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 32 + 44 = 32+44=32, plus, 44, equals
AnnZ [12381]
The greatest common factor shared by 32 and 44 is 4. This is factored out as follows: 4(8 + 11) = 4(8 + 11), which appears strange to me, but that's how most textbooks illustrate the factoring process.
