Answer: 17.14 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The area of the flower bed is 60 ft x 80 ft = 4800 ft²

The perimeter of the sidewalk that surrounds the flower bed is:

  •   2(60 ft) + 2(80 ft)
  • = 120 ft + 160 ft
  • = 280 ft

The area of the sidewalk is:

  • perimeter x width
  • = 280w

area of sidewalk = area of flower bed

280w = 4800

\text{w}=\dfrac{4800}{280}

  =\dfrac{120}{7}

  ≈ 17.14

3(negative 2-3x)=negative 9x-4
Andreyy89

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(-2 - 3x) = -9x - 4 (Given)

3(-2) + 3(-3x) = -9x - 4 (Distributive Property of Equality)

-6 + 9x = -9x - 4 (Simplify)

-6 + 4 -9x= -9x - 4 + 4 (Addition Property of Equality)

-2 + 9x = -9x (Simplify)

-2 + \frac{-9x}{-9} = \frac{-9}{-9} (Division Property of Equality)

-2 = x (Simplify)

x = -2 (Symmetric Property of Equality)

7. Five swimmers entered a competition. Four of the swimmers had their turns. Their scores are 9.8, 9.75, 9.79 and 9.81 seconds
arsen [322]

Answer:

We must order these decimals from least to greatest. Then we must determine how the least compares with the winning score.

9.80 -> 3

9.75 -> 1

9.79 -> 2

9.81 -> 4

The least decimal is 9.75. Now we must determine how 9.75 compare with the winning score.

The last swimmer must get a score less than 9.75 seconds in order to win.
