Answer:

  3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the deck. The deck adds to the pool dimensions on both sides, so the area of the site including pool and deck will be ...

  A = (20 +2x)(50 +2x) = 1000 +140x +4x^2

The area of the pool alone is

  A = (20)(50) = 1000

So, the area of the deck is the difference:

  456 = (4x^2 +140x +1000) -(1000)

Dividing by 4 and subtracting 114, we have ...

  x^2 +35x -114 = 0

  (x -3)(x +38) = 0

Solutions to this are x = 3 and x = -38. The positive solution is the one of interest.

The deck is 3 feet wide.

Number 1 wants you to set up proportions so four numbers equal to 2/1 would be: 6/3 8/4 10/5 12/6, and so on. I'm not sure what they're asking when they say the sum of the first two numbers is equal to 4.8

Max bought 4 liters of fruit punch for a party.he will serve the punch in glasses that will hold 200 milliliters.how many full g
ss7ja [257]
Hello!
.
1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliter.
So,
4 L = 4000 mL
.
Max bought 4 liter or 4000 mL of fruit punch. To know how many glasses full of fruit punch can he serve, you just need to divide the amount of fruit punch he bought by the amount of fruit punch a glass can hold.
4 L / 200 mL
The dividend and the divisor have different unit so we must make them have the same unit.
4000 mL / 200 mL
= 20
.
Therefore, Max can make 20 full glasses of fruit punch for the party.
