Answer:

x=3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the rectangular pool

$A=LW$

we have

$L=18\ m\\W=12\ m$

substitute

$A=18(12)=216\ m^2$

step 2

Find the area of rectangular pool including the area of the walkway

Let

x ----> the width of the walkway

we have

$L=(18+2x)\ m\\W=(12+2x)\ m$

substitute

$A=(18+2x)(12+2x)$

step 3

Find the area of the walkway

To find out the area of the walkway subtract the area of the pool from the area of rectangular pool including the area of the walkway

$A=(18+2x)(12+2x)-216$

step 4

Find the value of x if the area of the walkway equal the area of the pool

$(18+2x)(12+2x)-216=216$

Solve for x

$(18+2x)(12+2x)=432\\216+36x+24x+4x^{2}=432\\4x^{2} +60x-216=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=3 meters

angle a and b are both supplementary to angle c if the measure of angle a is 12 less than 2 times the measure of c find the meas

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The measure of a = b = 116 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have value of angles to calculate.

If a and b are both supplementary to c, what this means is that when we add either a or b to c, we get 180

Hence; Mathematically;

a + c = 180 and b + c = 180

What we have here is that a and b must be equal since they are both supplementary to the same angle value

Now, we are told further in the question that the measure of angle a is 12 less than 2 times the measure of c;

Mathematically, this means that;

a = 2c - 12

So we now want to find the measure of b

Let’s substitute for a

2c -12 + c = 180

3c -12 = 180

3c = 180 + 12

3c =192

c = 192/3

c = 64

Thus; a = 2c - 12 = 2(64) -12 = 128 -12 = 116

Richard and Teo have a combined age of 37. Richard is 4 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and Teo?

valkas [14]

Answer:

Teo is 11 years old and Richard is 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R be the age of Richard and T be the age of Teo.

First set up the equations:

The combined age of Teo and Richard is 37:

R+T=37

Richard is four years old than twice Teo's age:

R=2T+4

Then, solve the equations:

Substitute (2) to (1) and solve for T:

(2T+4)+T=37

3T=11

T=11

Solve for R using (2):

R=2(11)+4

R=22+4

R=26

Part 1: Linear Systems and Line Segments

Answer:

y=8(x−8)(x+0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: Linear Systems and Line Segments

Create and attach a 1 page ‘cheat’ sheet for the Linear Systems Unit.

Solve each system by graphing:

y = x+2, y = 4-1

2x – y + 9 = 0, x + y – 3 = 0

Solve by substitution:

x – 2y = 4, 2x – 3y = 7

Solve by elimination:

3x + 8y = -3, x + 8y = -5

4x – 5y = -22, 5x +6y = -3
