Answer:
3.41 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = Length × Breath
Area of the rectangular lawn = 100 × 50
= 5000 feet²
The sidewalk must occupy an area no more than 10% of the total lawn area.
So, the area of the sidewalk would be not more than = 10% × 5000
= 0.10 × 5000
= 500 feet²
Let the width of the sidewalk = x feet
area of the side walk = (L×W of the long way) + ((L-x)×W of the short way)
(100 × x) + ((50 - x) × x) < 500
100x + (50-x)(x) < 500
-x² + 150x < 500
-x² + 150x = 500
-x² + 150x - 500 = 0
By using quadratic formula
or 
x = 3.41089 ≈ 3.41 feet or x = 146.58
Therefore, width of the sidewalk would be 3.41 feet.
Answer:
the solutions of x^2=16x-28 are
2) 2 and 14
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to solve this. One is to graph the left side of the equation, graph the right side of the equation, and look for the point where those graphs intersect. It is at x = 1. The first attached graph shows this solution.
__
Another method for solving such an equation is to subtract one side from the other and look for the value of x that makes the resulting expression zero.
(-2x +3) -(-3(-x) -2) = 0
A graphing calculator doesn't need to have this simplified. If it is simplified, it becomes ...
-5x +5 = 0
So, the graphed line is y = -5x+5. Its x-intercept is x=1, the solution of the original equation. The graph of this is shown in the second attachment.
