Answer:

x = -, y = - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 4x + 11 = 15 \\ - 4x = 18 - 11 \\ - 4x = 4 \\ x = \frac{4}{ - 4} \\ \red{ \bold{ x = - 1}} \\ x = 2y \\ 2y = - 1 \\ \purple{ \bold{ y= - \frac{1}{2} }}$

GIVING BRAINLIEST! A rectangular garden has a width of 10 feet and a length of 14 feet. A cement walkway is added around the out

Serjik [45]

Given:

Width of a garden = 10 feet

Length of the garden = 14 feet

Area of the garden and the walkway together = 396 square feet.

To find:

The width of the walkway.

Solution:

A cement walkway is added around the outside of the garden.

Let x be the width of the walkway.

The width of the garden with walkway = 10+2x

The length of the garden with walkway = 14+2x

Area of a rectangle is

$Area=length\times width$

Area of garden and the walkway together is

$Area=(14+2x)\times (10+2x)$

$396=140+28x+20x+4x^2$

$396=140+48x+4x^2$

$396=4(35+12x+x^2)$

Divide both sides by 4.

$99=35+12x+x^2$

$0=35-99+12x+x^2$

$0=-64+12x+x^2$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$x^2+16x-4x-64=0$

$x(x+16)-4(x+16)=0$

$(x+16)(x-4)=0$

Using zero product property, we get

$(x+16)=0\text{ and }(x-4)=0$

$x=-16\text{ and }x=4$

Width of walkway cannot be negative. So, x=4.

Therefore, the width of the walkways is 4 feet.

A rectangle with dimensions $x$ and $y$ has perimeter 20 if

$2(x+y)=20 \iff x+y=10$

and we can deduce

$y=10-x$

So, the dimensions of the rectangle must be $x$ and $10-x$ , where x ranges from 0 to 10 (both extremes are excluded, otherwise you'd have a degenerate rectangle, which is actually a segment).

So, all the possible areas are given by the product of the dimensions, i.e.

$x(10-x) = -x^2+10x$

The function $f(x)=-x^2+10x$ represents a parabola, facing downwards, and thus it admits a maximum, which is its vertex.

In particular, the vertex of this parabola is given by

$x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-10}{-2}=5$

And it yields an area of

$f(5)=-25+50=25$

(a) So, she can frame a maximum area of 25 squared yards.

(b)The dimensions of the rectangle with greatest area are $x=5$ and $y=10-x=10-5=5$ , so it's actually a square.

This is a well known theorem: if you fix the perimeter, the rectangle with the largest area is the square yielding that perimeter.

(c) If we increase both dimensions by 2 yards, our 5x5 square would become a 7x7 square...

(d) ...and the new area would be $7^2=49$ squared yards. So, the new area is $49-25=26$ squared yeards more than the old one.
