Complete question :
A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?
1) 2 1/2 feet
2) 3 feet
4) 5 feet
5) 8 1/2 feet
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for X in the perimeter equation :
2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74
Open the bracket
2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74
2(27 + 4x) = 74
54 + 8x = 74
8x = 74 - 54
8x = 20
x = 20/8
x = 2.5
Hence, width fo border = 2.5
Answer:
0.00324 kilometres
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember:
100 centimeters = 1 meter
1000 meters = 1 kilometer
So first, let's add together the meters and centimeters. To do that, we have to convert the meters to centimeters. That would become 300 centimeters, then you add the 24 centimeters to get 324 centimeters. Then, you convert that to kilometers. You can use a calculator for this, but I'll show you how to do this without a calculator. Since 100 centimeters is one meter, and 1000 meters equals to one kilometer, there would be 5 spaces from 324 to our answer, so you move the invisible decimal point 5 spaces to the left, and you get your answer, which is 0.00324 kilometres!

i think bit too sure
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can subtract both sides of the equation by 3, getting 3 + p - 3 = 8 - 3.
Then we can evaluate, getting p = 8 - 3 = 5.
That would turn into 3x-5
