Let
x-----------> <span>uniform width surrounding the picture

we know that
(10+2x)*(12+2x)=224-----> 120+20x+24x+4x</span>²=224
4x²+44x+120-224=0
4x²+44x-104=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see  the attached figure

the solution is
x=2 in

the answer is
2 inches

allsm [11]
500mL is basically your average Dasani or Fiji water. So D) a gallon of milk is a bit too big, along with A, so we can cross those two out. B) A cup of yogurt is too small- one cup is only 200mL. So our answer would be C) A bottle of salad dressing.

Part A: Solve −np − 90 &lt; 30 for n. Show your work. (4 points) Part B: Solve 5m − 3h = 45 for h. Show your work. (6 points)
Temka [501]
Hello there!

Part A: Solve for n; -n*p - 90 < 30
Add 90 to both sides.
-n*p < 120
Divide both sides by p.
-n < 120/p
Divide both sides by -1.
n \geq 120/-p is your answer for part A.

Part B: Solve for h; 5m - 3h = 45
Subtract 5m from both sides.
-3h = -5m + 45
Divide both sides by -3.
h = (-5m + 45)/-3 is your answer for part B.

I hope this helps!
