3(x - 4) = 3x - 12 (expand the brackets)
3x - 12 = 2x + 6
3x = 2x + 6 + 12 (put all of the integers on one side)
3x = 2x + 18 (simplify - collect like terms)
3x - 2x = 18 (put all of the unknowns on one side)
x = 18 (simplify - collect like terms)
Therefore, we know that x is equal to 18, and so the answer is E.
Answer:
below
Step-by-step explanation:
4(3 + 1)(3 + 3)(3 + 5)(3 - 5)
4(4)(6)(8)(-2)
16(-96)= -1536
If you visualize the problem, there are two concentric circles, the pool, and the pool plus the walkway. So, we have to subtract the area of these two concentric circles to find the walkway.
Bigger circle: Pool plus walkway
----------------------------------
diameter = 18 + 4(2) -- this is because there is 2 ft of walkway at each far end
diameter = 26 ft
Area = pi*(26/2)^2
Area = 530.93 ft2
Smaller circle:pool
---------------------
diameter = 18 ft
Area = pi*(8/2)^2
Area = 50.27 ft2
Area of walkway
----------------
A = 530.93 - 50.27
A = 480.66 ft2
Then the cost would be
Cost = $4.25 * 480.66
Cost = $2,042.81
