Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
adding -7 to 7, since they are both constants (no variable) gives you 0. Adding -5x and 5x since they both have an x term gives you 0x also written as 0 (0*any number is 0). this gives you a final answer of 0
<span>Let's start with basic definitions:
1 inch-----0.0833333 ft
If 0.375 Ft- represents 0.25 inches
then 1 foof-x inches
0.25 inches x 1 ft / 0.375 ft: 0.66666666666667 (2/3) inch
1 foot is represented by 2/3 of an inch</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is given as 1:500,000
i.e. original 500,000 is represented as 1 inch in the map
Hence if 12.7 inches on the map, this is a question of direct variation
So actual distance = 12.7(500000) = 6350000
We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is
