0.02x + 0.10(400-x) = 0.42x can someone help me solve this I’ve been having different answers thanks

Simplify the left side. 0.02x+(40-0.1x)=0.42x
-0.08x+40=0.42
since 0.42x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left side of the equation by subtracting 0.42x from both sides
-0.08x+40-.0.42x=0
-0.5x=-40
x=80

Sam decides to build a square garden. If the area of the garden is 25x2 + 30x + 9 square feet, what is the length of one side of

seropon [69]

The correct answer is C. (5x+3) feet, and here is how I got it.
This is the equation you need to use:
(a+b)^2 = (a+b) (a+b)
So, let us plug in 5x and 3 here:
(5x+3)^2 = (5x+3)(5x+3) = 25x^2 + 15x + 15x + 9 = 25x^2 + 30x + 9 which is the area of the garden.
