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:
25.1325
Step-by-step explanation:
16/2= radius of 8. pi*r^2 for 8 is 201.06. 201.06/8(slices) = 25.1325
Answer:
The answer is D, 
Step-by-step explanation:
By graphing each one in a graphing tool like Desmos, you can determine which one it is.
If your looking for an actual explanation on how it is found, I can't really help you on that one.
Example P: I do my homework
P: I get my allowance
The inequality is a > 12, which means a is greater than 12. This means that we are looking for numbers that are greater than 12 to place into the solution set. Options A and B are incorrect because 10 and 11 are both numbers less than 12, respectively. Option D is also incorrect because the inequality specifies that the numbers in the solution must be greater than 12, not equal to it, so 12 is not a solution.
This leaves option C as the correct answer, because all of the solutions in the set (13, 14, and 15) are greater than 12.
Therefore, your answer is C.
Hope this helps!
