Five and sixteen tenths, or five point sixteen
According to the information given in the exercise, the following expression represents the area of the rectangular garden:

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

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:

Where "A" is the area of the walkway around the rectangular garden.
Solving for "A", you get the following expression:

The answer is:
R - 10/3 + 1/2 = -11/6...if u multiply everything by the common denominator 6, it will get rid of the fractions.
(6)r - 6(10/3) + 6(1/2) = 6(-11/6)
6r - 60/3 + 6/2 = - 66/6...simplify
6r - 20 + 3 = - 11
6r - 17 = -11
6r = -11 + 17
6r = 6
r = 6/6
r = 1 <===
Answer:
17c - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, add the normal numbers together:
7c + 4 + 10c - 6
4 - 6 = -2
7c + 10c - 2
Now, the two numbers with a c value can be added together:
7c + 10c = 17c
This returns the answer:
17c - 2
Hope this helps!
