Complete question :
A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?
1) 2 1/2 feet
2) 3 feet
4) 5 feet
5) 8 1/2 feet
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for X in the perimeter equation :
2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74
Open the bracket
2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74
2(27 + 4x) = 74
54 + 8x = 74
8x = 74 - 54
8x = 20
x = 20/8
x = 2.5
Hence, width fo border = 2.5
"Parallel" means the same, which means the slope you find. The formula for slopes is y=mx+b, so we need to put this equation in the right order for that. ('m' is the slope.)
Add 4x to each side, and get -3y=16+4x. Rearrange it to get it in the right order (y=mx+b).
This is -3y=4x+16. So the number in front of 'x' is 'm', which is the slope. You never actually see 'm', it is represented by a number. So four is the slope.
Answer:
102 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
start by adding
Mon 198
Tues 96
We'd 204
then you would get 498 and max people that can fit in the gym is 600 so then you would subtract 600-498 and get 102 so the maximum amount of tickets they can sell on Thursday is 102 tickets
Answer:
x = 4
m<cdb = 82
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle thm states that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles:
7x + 2 + 17x = 98
24x + 2 = 98
24x = 96
x = 4
m<cdb =
y + 98 = 180
y = 180 - 98
y = 82
