I don’t know i never seen this math problem before
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
Answer:
y= 1/4x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+c
to calculate gradient: change in y/change in x
-3/-12 = 0.25
y = 1/4x+c
4 * 1/4 = 1
6-1 = 5
c= 5
Totally:
y= 1/4x+5
1. Let hardcover books = X
Paperback books would be 4x -3 ( 3 less than 4 times)
Now you have:
X + 4x-3 = 447
Simplify:
5x - 3 = 447
Add 3 to each side:
5x = 450
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 450/5
x = 90
He has 90 hardcover books.
2. 300 miles / 25 miles per gallon = 12 gallons of gas.
12 gallons x $$ per gallon = $48 dollars
3. Subtract base pay from total:
1916 - 800 = 1,116 worth of commissions.
Divide commissions by percentage:
1116 / 0.09 = $12,400 total sales.
4.
Find the median of the heights: 65-50 = 15. 15/2 = 7.5
Median = 50+7.5 = 57.5
The equation would be |h-57.5| < 7.5
Answer:
(x+6)(x+2) is the factored equation
(-6, -2) is the coordinates
Step-by-step explanation:
find what multiplies to be 12 and adds to be 8
set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x, which is the coordinates
