Answer: the width of the uniform path is 9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the uniform path.

A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. It means that the combined length of the pool and the uniform path is (18 + 2x) meters and the combined width of the pool and the uniform path is (22 + 2x) meters.

If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1440 square meters, it means that

(18 + 2x)(22 + 2x) = 1440

396 + 36x + 44x + 4x² = 1440

4x² + 80x + 396 - 1440 = 0

4x² + 80x - 1044 = 0

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes

x² + 20x - 261 = 0

x² + 29x - 9x - 261 = 0

x(x + 29) - 9(x + 29) = 0

x - 9 = 0 or x + 29 = 0

x = 9 or x = 29

Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 9 meters

What is the true solution In 20+In 5=2 In x?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of logarithms

• log x + log y ⇔ log(xy)

• logx^{n} ⇔ n log x

• log x = log y ⇒ x = y

Given

ln20 + ln5 = 2 lnx , then

ln(20 × 5) = lnx^{2}

ln 100 = lnx^{2}, hence

x² = 100 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = 10

x*-8 would be -8x

then you would divide -8 by both sides

should get a decimal as your answer I believe
