Suppose the width of the path is x. 
the dimensions of the extended rectangle are (12+x+x), and (16+x+x) 
(12+2x)(16+2x)=285
4x²+56x+192=285
4x²+56x-93=0
Not easy to factor it, so use the quadratic formula to solve:
x={-56+√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4 or x={-56-√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4
x=1.5 (ignore the negative solution.)

Answer:

5x-2x-x = 10 9z • 7p = 378

Step-by-step explanation:

With equations like these you're basically just plugging numbers in where there are variables. so if you have 5x-2x-x when x=5, you just plug in 5 wherever x is. 5x-2x-x turns into (5•5)-(2•5)-(1•5). you multiply the expressions in the parentheses to get 25-10-5 and then you simply subtract.

1. 5x-2x-x

2. (5•5)-(2•5)-(1•5)

3. 25-10-5

4. 10

We can do the same thing with your second example. 9z•7p when z=2 and p=3. When there is a z, you plug in a 2. When there is a p, you plug in a 3.

1. 9z•7p

2. (9•2) • (7•3)

3. 18 • 21

4. 378

hope this helps :)

Can someone explain this to me
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Radio was 10
got markup of 54%
this implies it is almost 1/2x more than 10
10*1 is 100% of 10
use this fact and take 10 + .54*10=New Cost (nc)
tax is 2% use nc*1.2

For a school fund raising project, Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8. Jacob collected $115.50 more than
user100 [1]
X - the amount of money collected by Aiden
y - the amount of money collected by Jacob

Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8.
\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3.5}{6.8} \\
6.8x=3.5y \\
x=\frac{3.5}{6.8}y \\ x=\frac{35}{68}y

Jacob collected $115.50 more than Aiden.
x+115.5=y \\
x=y-115.5 \\ \\
x=x \\
\frac{35}{68}y=y-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-y=-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-\frac{68}{68}y=-115.5 \\
-\frac{33}{68}y=-115.5 \\
y=-115.5 \times (-\frac{68}{33}) \\
y=238 \\ \\
x=y-115.5=238-115.5=122.5 \\ \\
x+y=238+122.5=360.5

The total amount of money they collected is $360.50.
