The width of the pathway is 3m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pathway be 'w'

The area will be 130 square meters

The dimensions of the garden is 10 x 7

Area = (10+w) (7+w)

130 = 70 + 17w + w^2

w^2 + 17w - 60 = 0

w^2 +20w - 3w - 60 = 0

w ( w + 20) - 3 ( w + 20) = 0

(w + 20) (w - 3) = 0

w = -20 ( or) w = 3

w is the width and cannot be negative.

So, w = 3 meters

The width of the pathway is 3m

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

c = price of child ticket = $4.25

a = price of adult ticket = $4.25 + $1.00 = $5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

A child ticket costs c and an adult ticket costs a = c + 1.

21 children pay c dollars each for admission, and

3 teachers pay c + 1 dollars each for admission.

Thus,

21c + 3(c + 1) = $105, and

21c + 3c + 3 = $105, so that:

24c = $102

c = price of child ticket = $4.25

a = price of adult ticket = $4.25 + $1.00 = $5.25

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that if there are two of the same number multiplied within a root, it becomes a whole number

√18 x √18 = 18

Next, simplify √4.  Factor the number:

√4 = √(2 x 2) = 2

Multiply: 18 x 2 = 36
