Let x = the width of the border

2x+23) by (2x + 33) are the overall dimensions of the pool and the border. Use the area to find x!

Overall area - pool area = 660 sq/ft (aggregate area)

(2x+23)*(2x+33) - (23*33) = 660

Solve.

4x^2+112x = 660

4x^2+112x−660=0 → subtract 660 on both sides

4(x−5)(x+33)=0 → factor

x−5=0 or x+33=0 → set both factors equal to 0

x = 5 or x = -33

In this case, we would use the positive solution, so the strip can be 5 ft. wide!

I hope this helps :)

Explain why 2+x and x+3 are equivalent
wlad13 [49]

Check whether the two expressions 2x+3y2x+3y and 2y+3x2y+3x equivalent.

The first expression is the sum of 2x2x 's and 3y3y 's whereas the second one is the sum of 3x3x 's and 2y2y 's.

Let us evaluate the expressions for some values of xx and yy . Take x=0x=0 and y=1y=1 .

2(0)+3(1)=0+3=32(1)+3(0)=2+0=22(0)+3(1)=0+3=32(1)+3(0)=2+0=2

So, there is at least one pair of values of the variables for which the two expressions are not the same.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

X=2y-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rebecca's age be x

Let Anthony's age be y

Twice Anthony =2y

Rebecca's age (x) to be 3 years younger than twice Anthony's =2y-3

So, it's x=2y-3
