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:
282 + d
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of miles driven by Deandre for week 1 = 282 miles
Number of miles for week 2 = d
Total number of miles driven for two weeks can be expressed as:
(282 + d) miles
You get the answer by inserting values in slope formula and then solving for k. I'll call k, y_2
So the answer k = -5 is incorrect because k = 11.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking but I would set up the equation like this.
y=65+5.5x for Ned's equation
y=8.75x for Jack's equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is in y=mx+b format, hopefully it helps!
Answer:
-7n - .9
Step-by-step explanation:
By distributing the - to the parentheses, you must add a - sign to each number in the parentheses. This makes the positives turn negative.
