No, they are not equivalent.
5(2x - y) = 10x - 5y and it is not equal to 15x - 5y.
(using distribution property)
So as the path adds an extra 2 feet to each side I would start this by adding two feet to each part (so 25+2 x 38+2) which leaves you with 27ft by 40ft. Multiply to find this total area, which results in 1080. Now, you want to remove the actual area of the garden itself as this is not part of the path. So 25x38=950. Subtract 1080 by 950. This gives you just the area of the gardens path which would be 
Answer:
3/8 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 3/4 by two
Step-by-step explanation:
Putting both functions into a graphing calculator, we can easily find the domain and range. (attatched)
By looking at the graph, we can tell that f(x) is a quadratic function because of the symmetry. We can also tell that it never goes below 4. Knowing this, we can determine the domain and range.
Domain: {x | all real numbers}
Range: {y | y > 4}
By looking at the graph, we can tell that g(x) is an exponential function because it has a curve, and never goes below the x. Knowing this, we can determine the domain and range.
Domain: {x | all real numbers}
Range: {y | y > 0}
You just have to multiply. 6.2x1.609x5,280 which would give you 8501.72.
