So when X is 0, the area of the pool is 1200. That makes A and C impossible... then you can plug in numbers...say the boardwalk is 1 ft wide, add 2 to each dimension and plug in 1 for X. (You're adding 2 because there is a tile on either side of each dimension, including corners).

32x42=1344=4+140+1200

Therefore the answer is B.

12x + 8 + 84 = 15х +9

Answer:

x = 83/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 8 + 84 = 15х +9

Solving for x:

8 + 84 - 9 = 15x - 12x

83 = 3x

x = 83/3.

The length of a rectangle is 8 feet more than its width. If the width is increased by 4 feet and the length is decreased by 5 fe
bezimeni [28]
Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w

No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12

Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:

w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
