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:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of rolling a 3 is
1
/6 since there is 1 three and there are 6 sides total. The probability of rolling an even number is 1
/2 since there are 3 even numbers and 6 total sides. Multiply 1
/6 and 1
/2 and the correct answer is 1
/12

The regression equation:
y = m x + b
m = ( 57 - 50 ) / ( 178 - 168 ) = 7 / 10 = 0.7
50 = 0.7 * 168 + b
50 = 117.6 + b
b = 50 - 117.6
b = - 67.6
y = 0.7 * x - 67.6The graph is in the attachment.
The weight of supermodel who is 171 cm tall:
y = 0.7 * 171 - 67.6 = 119.7 - 67.6 =
52.1 kg
