Answer:

<h2>x = -17</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-12(x+5)=144\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-12)}\\\\\dfrac{-12(x+5)}{-12}=\dfrac{144}{-12}\\\\x+5=-12\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\x+5-5=-12-5\\\\x=-17

144=-12(x+5)

144=-12x-60

204=-12x

204/-12=x

x=-17

A rectangular garden has a walkway around it. The area of the garden is 6(6.5x + 2.5). The combined area of the garden and the w
Rasek [7]

According to the information given in the exercise, the following expression represents the area of the rectangular garden:

6\mleft(6.5x+2.5\mright)

And the following expression represents the combined area of the walkway around the rectangular garden and the area of the garden:

6.5\mleft(8x+6\mright)

You can identify that the word "combined" indicates that that expression was obtained by adding both areas.

Knowing the above, you can set up the following equation:

6(6.5x+2.5)+A=6.5(8x+6)

Where "A" is the area of the walkway around the rectangular garden.

Solving for "A", you get the following expression:

\begin{gathered} A=6.5(8x+6)-6(6.5x+2.5) \\ A=52x+39-39x-15 \\ A=13x+24 \end{gathered}

The answer is:

13x+24

After obtaining a warrant, the police attached GPS tracking device to the car of a murder suspect. Suppose the car was located a
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Part a) The coordinates of the suspect's car at its final destination are (4,4)

Part b) The distance traveled by the suspect was 10 miles

Part c) d=5.66\ mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question in the attached figure

Part a) What are the coordinates of the suspect's car at its final destination?

we know that

The original position is the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system (0,0)

1) The suspect's car was tracked going 5 mi due east

That means----> 5 mi at right

the new coordinates are (5,0)

2) The suspect's car was tracked going 4 mi due north

That means----> 4 mi up

the new coordinates are (5,4)

3) The suspect's car was tracked going 1 mi due west

That means----> 1 mi at left

the new coordinates are (4,4)

therefore

The coordinates of the suspect's car at its final destination are (4,4)

Part b) What was the distance traveled by the suspect?

The distance traveled is  

5 mi due east + 4 mi due north + 1 mi due west

5+4+1=10\ mi

therefore

The distance traveled by the suspect was 10 miles

Part c)  What is the distance as the crow flies between the original position and the final position of the suspect's car?

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

Remember that

The original position was (0,0) and the final position was (4,4)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(4-0)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(4)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{32}\ mi

d=5.66\ mi
