Answer:

x=2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 12+2x

width = 6+2x

Area = (12+2x) (6+2x) = 160

Foil

 72 + 12x+24x+4x^2 = 160

Combine like terms

4x^2 + 36x +72 = 160

Subtract 160 from each side

4x^2 +36x -88 =0

Divide by 4

x^2 +9x -22=0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -22 and add to 9

11 * -2 = -22

11+ -2 = 9

(x +11) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=-11  x=2

Since we cant have negative length

x=2

Answer:

<em>Width of Pathway; 2 meters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the width of the pathway we can tell that the length of the ends ( in meters ) is distributed among the two other ends of the garden so that the width ⇒

Increase length on one side * 2, if increased length / width ⇒ x, 2x

From this we can formulate an equation based on the lengths of the garden, as the increased lengths represents the side lengths of the total area ( walkway + garden );

( 12 + 2x )( 6 + 2x ) = 160 ⇒ Expand,

72 + 36x + 4x^2 = 160 ⇒ Subtract 160 on either side,

4x^2 + 36x - 88 = 0 ⇒ Factor,

4 * ( x - 2 ) * ( x + 11 ) = 0 ⇒ Use Zero Factor Principle,

x = 2, and x = - 11;

Now the width can only be a positive value, thus;

<em>Solution; Width ⇒ 2 meters</em>

-1/3(6x-15)+6x&gt;8x-11 solve.
arsen [322]

In this question, you're solving the inequality for x.

Solve:

-1/3(6x - 15) + 6x > 8x - 11

Distribute the -1/3 to the variables in the parenthesis.

-2x + 5 + 6x > 8x - 11

Combine like terms

4x + 5 > 8x - 11

Subtract 8x from both sides

-4x + 5 > - 11

Subtract 5 from both sides

-4x > -16

Divide both sides by -4, while also flipping the inequality, since you're dividing by a negative.

x < 4

Answer:

x < 4
