victus00 [196]

The width of border is 1.5 feet

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that small garden measures 9 ft by 13 ft

A uniform border around the garden increases the total area to 192 ft square

To find: width of border

Let the width of border be "x"

Then the new measures of garden are (9 + 2x) feet and (13 + 2x) feet

The total area of garden = 192 square feet

$(9 + 2x)(13 + 2x) =192$

$117 + 18x + 26x + 4x^2 = 192\\\\4x^2 + 44x - 75 = 0$

<em><u>Let us solve the above equation by quadratic formula</u></em>

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0\\\\x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the above formula,

For $4x^2 + 44x - 75 = 0$ , we have a = 4 ; b = 44 ; c = -75

Substituting the values of a = 4 ; b = 44 ; c = -75 in above quadratic formula we get,

$\begin{aligned}&x=\frac{-44 \pm \sqrt{44^{2}-4(4)(-75)}}{2 \times 4}\\\\&x=\frac{-44 \pm \sqrt{1936-1200}}{8}\\\\&x=\frac{-44 \pm \sqrt{3136}}{8}\\\\&x=\frac{-44 \pm 56}{8}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}&x=\frac{-44+56}{8} \text { or } x=\frac{-44-56}{8}\\\\&x=\frac{12}{8} \text { or } x=\frac{-100}{8}\\\\&x=1.5 \text { or } x=-12.5\end{aligned}$

Since "x" cannot be negative,

we get x = 1.5

Thus width of border is 1.5 feet

One box of cereal is 20 ounces and cost $3. A smaller box of the same type of cereal is 12 ounces and costs $2. Which box of cer

Talja [164]

12 divided by 2 = 6 ounces = $1
20 divided by 3 = 6.66 ounces = 1

the first option should be the best option to get since its cheaper.

Factor 8x^3y + 38x^2y - 10xy

Sophie [7]

Answer:

2xy(x+5)(4x−1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

GCF = 2xy

2 Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

2xy (8x^3y + 38x^2y/2xy + −10xy/2xy)

3 Simplify each term in parentheses.

2xy(4x^2 +19x−5)

4 Split the second term in 4x^2+19x-5 into two terms.

2xy(4x^2 +20x−x−5)

5 Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

2xy(4x(x+5)−(x+5))

6 Factor out the common term x+5.

2xy(x+5)(4x−1)

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) - 3=4.5(x-2)

anyanavicka [17]

Hi there!

The Eqn. is :-

1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

Combining the like terms :-

1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3

- 3x = - 15 + 3

- 3x = - 12

x = $\dfrac {- 12}{- 3}$

x = 4

Hence, the required answer is → x = 4

~ Hope it helps!
