A circular pool with a diameter of 18 ft will have a uniform
4 ft concrete walkway poured around it. If the concrete cost $4.25 a square
foot, how much will it cost for the concrete?
This can be solve be solving the area of walkway
Area of walkway is equal to = (pi)( 9 ft +4) ^2– (pi)(9ft)^2
= 276.46 sq ft
Cost = 276.46 sq ft * ($4.25 a square foot) = $1174.70
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's see if we can think of two numbers that multiply to be 3(-5)=-15
andd add up to be -2
How about -5 and 3? That work's! :)
Factor by grouping!
You have to get rid of 1/2 by multiplying it by its recriprocal which is like this:
1) 1/2 x 2/1 which equals to zero and you do the same to the other side.
2) -12 x 2/1 = -24x then multiply-24x with 7 which equals -168.
16-x= -24x -168
3) subtract 16 to the other side and subtract 24x with x
23x= -184
4) divide by 23 to isolate x and you get -8
5) x=-8
