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 :)

Point slope is y-y1=m(x-x1)
Keep y and x as they are (do not plug anything in for those).
Variable m is the slope.
x1 and y1 are part of the point, which is in (x, y) form.
With the information given, plug each into the equation.
m= 2 (It's the slope)
x1=-8
y1=5
Put these variables into the equation like this-
y-5=2(x--8)
The two negatives cancel out (between x and 8) so your final answer is-
y-5=2(x+8)

I would say Song 1 on the top could be NO, and Song 1 on the bottom could be ON, then Song 2 on the very top could be NO again, then on the bottom of the very top could OO, then on the bottom of that could be NN, and on he very bottom could be ON.
Hope this helps.

Five decreased by twice a number is same as five less than<br> three times the number.
sergejj [24]
Answer: If you are suppose to write an algebraic expression it is: 5 - 2x = 3x - 5
If you are suppose to solve the answer is:
5-2x=3x-5
-2x=3x-10
-5x=-10
x=2

Using Euclid's division algorithm prove that : 847,2160 are co-primes
AysviL [449]
Definition of eo-primes or relatively primes: Two numbers are said to be co-prime or relatively prime If their HCF IS 1 Hence to prove 847 and 2160 as co-prime numbers we will find their HCF and which should be 1

New steps to find HCF will be as under

2160 = 847 x 2+ 466
847 = 466 ×1 +381
466 = 381 x 1 + 85
381 =85 x 4+ 41
85 =41 x 2+3
41 =3 x 13+ 2
3 =2 x 1+1
2 =1 x 2+0

Therefore, the HCF=1 Hence, the numbers are co-primes (relatively prime).
