Answer:

1.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the pathway across all its side be x. This means we are adding a length of 2x to both the length and breadth to 12+2x and 16+2x respectively.

The new area thus becomes:

(12+2x)(16+2x) = 285

24x + 32x + 192 + 4x^2 = 285

4x^2 + 56x + 192 = 285

4x^2 + 56x + 192 - 285 =0

4x^2 + 56x -93 = 0

4x^2 + 62x - 6x - 93 = 0

2x( 2x + 31) - 3(2x + 31) = 0

(2x - 3)(2x + 31) = 0

This means x = 3/2 or -31/2

Since length cannot be negative , we choose the first and neglect the second meaning our answer is 3/2 which is 1.5 meters

Answer:

y = 3x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to start with a version of the point-slope form of the equation for a line. That is, for point (h, k) and slope m, ...

y = m(x -h) +k

For your m=3 and (h, k) = (3, 1), this equation becomes ...

y = 3(x -3) +1

Eliminating parentheses puts this in the form you desire:

y = 3x -8
