Answer:

C. 3.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the amount of increase be 'x' feet.

As, the length and width of the garden are 20 ft and 12 ft respectively.

It is given that the area of the new garden is 360 ft²

Since, the length and width are increased by 'x'.

The new length and width are (x+20) ft and (x+12) ft respectively.

So, we get,

New area, A_{G} = length × breadth = (x+20) × (x+12)

i.e. 360 = x^{2}+32x+240

i.e. x^{2}+32x-120=0

i.e. (x+35.4)(x-3.4)=0

i.e. x = -35.4 and x= 3.4

Since, the value of x cannot be negative.

Thus, x = 3.4 feet.

Solve for the unknown variable 2/5(3x-4)=-4
Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4

Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2

5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):

(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2

5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:

3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2

(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:

3 x - 4 = 5×-2

5 (-2) = -10:

3 x - 4 = -10

Add 4 to both sides:

3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10

4 - 4 = 0:

3 x = 4 - 10

4 - 10 = -6:

3 x = -6

Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-6)/3

The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:

Answer:  x = -2

Multi-step K is the midpoint of JL, JL=4x-2, and JK=7. Find x, KL, and JL
ddd [48]
If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL

JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7

The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7      |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8        |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = 4</u>

<u>JL</u> = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = <u>14</u>

<u>KL</u> = JK =<u> 7</u>
