Answer:
x would equal -3
Step-by-step explanation:
want to get rid of 14 from each side so 14 - 14 would get rid of that 20 - 14 = 6 now you still have a negative 2x
-2x / -2x gives you X to be alone now divide 6 with -2 which gives you -3
Answer:
5 toppings
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Doug's pizza:
Sales price of pizza :$12 plus
Topping (t) = $3 per topping
Jake's pizza:
Sales price of pizza :$17 plus
Topping (t) = $2 per topping
To make their pizza the same price, how many topping needs to be on a pizza of each
12 + 3t = 17 + 2t
3t - 2t = 17 - 12
t = 5
5 toppings each
Answer:
x=-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(x-3+7x=35)=-5(x-3+7 <em>x </em>35=x)
(-5)x+(-5)(-3)+(-5) <em>x</em> 7x=35
-5x+5x<em>x </em>3-5 <em>x </em>7x=35
-40x+15=35

Find area of the border :
--------------------------------------------------------
Area of the room = 22 x 25 = 550 ft²
Area of the rug = 238 ft²
Area of the border = 550 - 238 = 312 ft²
--------------------------------------------------------
Define y:
--------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be y.
--------------------------------------------------------
Find area of the border in term of y :
--------------------------------------------------------
The area of the border = 22y x 2 + 25y x 2 - 4y² = 94y - 4y²
*We need to take away 4y² because the 4 corners will be overlap twice if we don't.
--------------------------------------------------------
Solve y :
--------------------------------------------------------
94y - 4y² = 312
4y² - 94y + 312 = 0
2y² - 47y + 156 = 0
<span>(y - 4)(2y - 39) = 0
</span>y = 4 or y = 19.5
--------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The border can be 4 ft or 19.5 ft
