Mathematics

Radda [10]3 years ago

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

ryzh [129]

Answer:

8x⁴ - 7x³ + 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

=(4x⁴ + 7x + 5x³) + (8x⁴ + 6x³ - 3x)- (4x⁴ + 4x³ - 8x)

=4x⁴ + 7x + 5x³ + 8x⁴ + 6x³ - 3x - 4x⁴ - 4x³ + 8x

=4x⁴ + 8x⁴ - 4x⁴+ <em>5x³ + 6x³ - 4x³</em> + <u>7x - 3x + 8x</u>

=8x⁴ + 7x³ + 12x

12         9

------ = -------

16          t

Solve by using cross products

12 t = 9*16

12 t =144

Divide by 12

12t/12 = 144/12

t = 12
