Answer:
10(x+9)
Step-by-step explanation:
the center square is 20 x 20 = 400
there are 4 12 x 20 areas
12*20 = 240*4 = 960
960+400 = 1360 square inches
The first thing to do is to clear the equation of fractions by multiplying by its LCM, which is 6 in this case. When you do that, you will get the equation
4p + 36 = 7p. Much easier to deal with, right? Now move the 4p over by subrtracting it: 36 = 3p, and p = 12
The average monthly change is -36 every 12 months i think ♀️
