check the picture below.
so, we know the dimensions of the pool, is a 20x10, so its area is simply 200 ft², and we know the walkway is 216 ft², so the whole thing, including pool and walkway is really 200 + 216 ft².
now, as you see in the picture, the dimensions for the combined area is 20+2x and 10+2x, since the walkway is "x" long, therefore,

notice, it cannot be -18, since is a positive length unit.
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
6a + 12 =? 3(3a + 4)
Distribute
6a+12 =? 3*3a + 3*4
6a+12 =? 9a +12
No
The expressions are not equivalent
Answer: In your problem, you said that they are squared. However, it is not written as squared. We just have to multiply them.
We can use the FOIL method.
(3b - 5c)(3x + 5y)
6bx + 15by - 10cx - 25cy
There are no like terms, so that expression is our final answer.
No he did not because 20% of 250 is 50 and there are 90 students not 50 students!! Hope this helped you a lot !!!
First we know that:
AB+BC=AC
now , since B is the midpoint of AC, this means that AB=BC
therefore,
AB+BC=AC can also be written as
AB+AB=AC
3x-1+3x-1=8x-20
6x-2=8x-20
-2+20=8x-6x
18=2x
x=9
therefore:
AB=3(9)-1=27-1=26
AC=8(9)-20=52
BC=AB=26
