3 is to 2 is the probability of drawing 4 marbles that are all blue.
We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is

5 feet. </span>
- 6/2c is the correct solution
collect like terms : 3cx - cx = 2cx
hence 2cx = - 6
dividing both sides by 2c gives x = - 6/2c
D; 1 and 6 are being added together first then divided by 7, so need the parentheses around 1 and 6
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+8=3x-6
Subtract 3x from each side
5x-3x+8=3x-3x-6
2x+8 = -6
Subtract 8 from each side
2x+8-8 = -6-8
2x = -14
Divide by 2
2x/2 = -14/2
x = -7
