If A,B and C lie on the same line:

4x- 9 + 3x+5 = 17

7x = 21

x = 3

AB + BC = AC
4x - 9 + 3x + 5 = 17
7x - 4 = 17
add 4 to both sides
7x = 21
divide both sides by 7
x = 3

docker41 [41]

Answer:

111 spots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y denote the total number of parking spots expressed as:

$y=\frac{15x}{4}-9\\\\$

Given that x is the number of spots in the first row.

-Now, given that the first row has 32 spots, we substitute in the expression to solve for y:

$y=\frac{15x}{4}-9,\ \ x=32\\\\=\frac{15\times 32}{4}-9\\\\=120-9\\\\=111$

Hence, there are 111 spots in the parking lot.

Alex is making a rectangular garden and wants a fence around it. He wants the length of the garden to be 3 feet longer than the

givi [52]

<span>Since it's rectangular, there is a length and width. Let the width be w, and the length is then w+3. The total length of the fence is the perimeter, so 150 = 2*w + 2*(w+3) = 4w+6. Solving for w, this becomes w=(150-6)/4 = 144/4 = 36 feet.</span>
