Answer:

width of the border is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

size = 8 inches by 10 inches

area = 144 square inches

to find out

width of the border

solution

first we consider width of border is x

area of new full rectangle =  (8 + 2x ) × ( 10 + 2x )

so we know  area of photo = 8 × 10 = 80 square inches

and area of border = 144 square inches that is given

so new area of photo with the border is 80 + 144 = 224 square inches

and we can say that

area of full rectangle  - area of the photograph = Area of Border

(8 + 2x) × (10 + 2x) – (80) = 144  square inches

80 + 16x + 20x + 4x^{2} – 80 = 144

4x^{2} + 36x – 144 = 0

solve thios equation we get  

2x^{2} + 9x – 36 = 0

solve thios equation we get  

(x + 12) (x – 3) = 0  

so here x have two value one is negative and other is positive

so we consider only positive value

x = -12 or x = 3

width of the border is 3 inches

Two equivalent expressions for 7x.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Combine any like terms on each side of the equation: x-terms with x-terms and constants with constants. Arrange the terms in the same order, usually x-term before constants. If all of the terms in the two expressions are identical, then the two expressions are equivalent.

The nurse researcher is reading about linear regression. what is linear regression
ANEK [815]
Hello there.

   Linear regression is a useful tool that allows calculating approximate values for a function that passes through given points(with the best error possible). It is very useful in science to make an estimation of the comportment of movement, electricity and some decays.

   For example, I will relate a case in a physics lab: We calculated the positions of a car in an air rail and the times. With this information, I was able to make a linear regression to calculate the Position function for that case.
