We are asked to solve for the value of "x" such that when it is added in the original area of the park it will double the area. Let us compute first the area of the original dog park (A1) and the solution is shown below:
Area = Lenght*Width = L*W where L=30 yards and W=20 yards
Area = 30*20
Area = 600 yards squared
Solving for the x, when x is added to both sides which double the area:
A1*2 = (L + 2x)*W
600*2 = (30+2x)*20
1200 / 20 = 30+2x
60 = 30 + 2x
60-30 = 2x
30/2 =x
15 = x

The value of x is 15 yards.

Solve.<br> 4 x + 6 &lt; − 6<br><br> Thankyou In advance :&gt;
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

x < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 6 from both sides.

  • 4x + 6 - 6 < -6 - 6
  • 4x < -12

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

  • \frac{4x}{4} < \frac{-12}{4}
  • x < -3

Therefore, the answer is x < -3.

Amal Worked a total of 30 hours last week. On Saturday And Sunday He Worked 5 times as many hours than he worked the rest of the
Lilit [14]
Let x represent the number of hours he worked during the weekdays (not Saturday or Sunday).
If x is how much he worked on the weekdays and he worked 5 times as much on Sat and Sun, then hopefully you agree that on Sat and Sun he worked 5x hours.
So we have 5x hours on the weekends and x hours on the weekdays, so in total for the whole week we have 5x + x = 6x hours in total.
The question tells us that he worked 30 hours total, so 6x = 30
Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x and we have x = 5.
He worked 5 hours the rest of the week.

Hope this helps. If it does, please be sure to make this the brainliest answer! :)
