Answer:

We get w = 1.508 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width of the border.

The diameter of the pool will be 10 feet.

The depth will be 3 inches. So, we will convert it to feet.

3 inches = \frac{3}{12}=0.25 feet

The circular area including pool and the border, radius =(w+5)

Border area = Total area - pool area

= \pi (w+5)^{2} -\pi (5)^{2}

Putting pi = 3.14 and solving the expression we get the following equation:

3.14w^{2}+31.4w-53.5

As given one cubic yard of concrete is to be used, this is the volume to be used.

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet

Now using the volume given and thickness of this area that is 0.25 feet.

0.25(3.14w^{2}+31.4w-53.5) =27

=> 0.785w^{2}+7.85w-13.375-27= 0

=> 0.785w^{2}+ 7.85w-13.625= 0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get w = 1.508 feet and w = -11.508 feet.

Neglecting the negative value, we get w = 1.508 feet.

Solve the system of equations: y= x^2 + 2x - 3 and y=3x+ 3.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

(-2, -3)

(3, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we're gonna get rid of the y's with substitution

x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3

Let's make this equation equal to zero

Subtract 3 from both sides

x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3

            - 3         - 3

x² + 2x - 6 = 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides

x² + 2x - 6 = 3x

    - 3x        - 3x

x² - x - 6 = 0

Factor the equation

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

This means x can be -2 or 3

Let's solve it with -2 first, plug the new x in y = 3x + 3

y = 3(-2) + 3

y = -6 + 3 = -3

Do the same for x = 3

y = 3(3) + 3

y = 9 + 3 = 12

What is the answer for $ 199 MP3 player 15% discount
Irina-Kira [14]
So discount means taken off
we find 15% of 199 and subtract from 199
% means parts out of 100 so 15%=15/100=1.5/10=.15/1=0.15
'of' means multiply
15% of 199=0.15 times 199=29.85
discount so 199-29.85=169.15
answer is $169.15
