Area of rectangular board = length (inches) x width (inches) = 12" x 16" = 192 in²
Area of the border is given as 128 in²
Adding the area of the board and the border gives (192 + 128)in² = 320 in²
Set this up as the algebraic equation (x + 12)(x + 16) = 320 and solve for x:
Remember to use the FOIL method, which is multiplying the terms in the order of first, outer, inner, last.
x² + 12x + 16x + 192 = 320
x² + 28x + 192 - 320 = 0
x² + 28x - 128 = 0
solve for the two x values:
(x + 32)(x - 4) = 0, and knowing we only need the positive x value
x = 4 or 4 inches is the width of the border

Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
9 is not a prime factor and of you divide 210 with 11, it will be a decimal
Answer:
C. Median
Step-by-step explanation:
If both sides are <em>symmetrical,</em> then there is no need to try and find the mean or anything because you already have the middle point and no outliers. <u>If there were outliers it'd be different</u>, unless the outliers were symmetrical with the rest of it, then the median would still be a good option.
