9. The area of a yard is given by the equation y = x2 – 12x + 32. If the

length of the garden is given by the expression x – 4, what is the width of

the yard?

The width of the yard is given by the expression (x - 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Area of yard, y =

Length of garden =

We have to find the with of the garden.

Area of yard =

Putting the values, we get:

Now,

Thus, the width of the yard is given by the expression (x - 8).

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
