A garden measuring 12 meters by 6 meters is going to have a walkway constructed all around the perimeter, increasing the total a

rea to 160 square meters. What will be the width of the pathway? (The pathway will be the same width around the entire garden).

Answer:

x=2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 12+2x

width = 6+2x

Area = (12+2x) (6+2x) = 160

Foil

 72 + 12x+24x+4x^2 = 160

Combine like terms

4x^2 + 36x +72 = 160

Subtract 160 from each side

4x^2 +36x -88 =0

Divide by 4

x^2 +9x -22=0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -22 and add to 9

11 * -2 = -22

11+ -2 = 9

(x +11) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=-11  x=2

Since we cant have negative length

x=2

Answer:

<em>Width of Pathway; 2 meters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the width of the pathway we can tell that the length of the ends ( in meters ) is distributed among the two other ends of the garden so that the width ⇒

Increase length on one side * 2, if increased length / width ⇒ x, 2x

From this we can formulate an equation based on the lengths of the garden, as the increased lengths represents the side lengths of the total area ( walkway + garden );

( 12 + 2x )( 6 + 2x ) = 160 ⇒ Expand,

72 + 36x + 4x^2 = 160 ⇒ Subtract 160 on either side,

4x^2 + 36x - 88 = 0 ⇒ Factor,

4 * ( x - 2 ) * ( x + 11 ) = 0 ⇒ Use Zero Factor Principle,

x = 2, and x = - 11;

Now the width can only be a positive value, thus;

<em>Solution; Width ⇒ 2 meters</em>

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is $36

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total money = $50

2 gallons of milk = $3

a loaf of bread = $2

a dozen of eggs = $3

Write an equation to solve this problem

Cost of 2 gallons of milk + a loaf of bread + 3 dozens of eggs + remainder = total cost

Substitution

                          $3 + $2 + 3($3) + remainder = $50

Simplification

                          3 +  2 + 9 + remainder = 50

                          remainder = 50 - 3 - 2 - 9

result

                         remainder = $36

Answer:

  x ∈ {2.07014981016}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be rewritten as ...

  √x = 18-8x

  x = 324 -288x +64x²

  64x² -289x +324 = 0

  x = (289 ±√577)/128 ≈ {2.07015, 2.44548}

Since √x must be positive, we know that ...

  18 -8x ≥ 0

  x ≤ 18/8 = 2.25

The larger of the above solutions is extraneous, so the solution set is ...

  x ∈ {(289 -√577)/128} ≈ {2.07015}

10 &lt; 0.25 ( x + 1 ) &lt; 11
AURORKA [14]
10 <0.25 (x + 1) <11
 
We must solve two inequalities in this case.
 Inequality 1:
 
10 <0.25 (x + 1)
 10 / 0.25 <x + 1
 40 <x + 1
 40-1 <x
 39 <x
 Inequality 2:
 
0.25 (x + 1) <11
 (x + 1) <11 / 0.25
 (x + 1) <44
 x <44-1
 x <43
 The final result is:
 39 <x <43
 Answer:
 
39 <x <43
