Answer:

98 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The new width is 40 yds + 2 yds = 42 yds.

Area = L × W

4200 square yds = L × 42 yds

L = 4200 yds ÷ 42 yds = 100 yds

The new length is 100 yds.

The old length = the new length - the width of the path × 2 = 100 yds - 1 yd × 2 = 100 yds - 2 yds = 98 yds.

The length of the park was 98 yds, before the path was built.

Natasha2012 [34]
Given:
Cost of dishwasher : 315 before sales tax
sales tax : 9.22%

Total cost = 315 * 1.0922 = 344.043

Average of 10 uses per week for the next 6 years before replacing it.
There are 52 weeks in a year.

10 uses per week * 52 weeks per year * 6 years = 3120 average uses

cost for water = 0.09 ; cost for electricity = 0.13 ; total cost per use = 0.22

0.22 * 3120 = 686.40 cost of use

purchase cost =    344.043
cost of use      =    <u>686.40</u>
lifetime cost     1,030.443

Solve 2 log x = log 64. (1 point)
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

2log(x)=log(64)

By logarithms properties

xlog_{a}(b)=log_{a}(b^{x} )  \\

log(x²)=log(64)

When you have log or ln in both sites, you delete them and...

x²=64

\sqrt[]{x^{2} } =\sqrt{64} \\x=8
