Define x :
------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be x.

------------------------------------------------------
Find Area of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
Area = 30x + 30x + 20x + 20x + 4x²
Area = 100x + 4x²

------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of the walkway in term of x:
------------------------------------------------------
1m² = $10
100x + 4x² = 10(4x² + 100x)
(100x + 4x²)m = $(40x² + 1000x)

------------------------------------------------------
Find Width of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
The budget is $6000

40x² + 1000x = 6000
40x² + 1000x - 6000 = 0
x² + 25x -150 = 0 //Divide by 40 through
(x - 5)(x + 30) = 0 //Factorise
x = 5 or x = -30 (Rejected, width cannot be negative)

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The width can be 5m wide.

Como se multiplican polinomios

seraphim [82]

I hope you speak english, because although i understood your question I don't know enough spanish to respond in it. You multiply polynomials by multiplying each part of one polynomial by all the other parts of the others, and then adding it all. For example: (ax+b) * (x+c) = (ax*x)+(ax*c)+(b*x)+(b*c) = $a x^{2} + acx + bx+bc$

Which equation can be used to solve the following word problem? Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, and the total value of his c

9966 [12]

Answer:

Seth has 21 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels. Since Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, then (n-8) is the number dimes.

Nickel is worth 5 cents and dime is worth 10 cents. Thus, n nickels are worth 5n cents and (n-8) dimes are worth 10(n-8) cents. The total value of Seth's coins is $2.35 that is 235 cents, then

$5n+10(n-8)=235.$
