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

For the graph 2x - 3y - 7 = 0 <br> determine the coordinates of the axes intercepts.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

X intercept: (7/2, 0)

Y intercept: (0, -7/3)

Step-by-step explanation: Add 7 to both sides. We get 2x-3y=7

Now, plug in zero for y, and we are left with 2x = 7 (the y cancels.) Dividing by 2 leaves us 7/2, and (0, 7/2)

Now starting back to 2x-3y=7

Plug in zero for x, and we are legt with -3y = 7 (the x cancels.) Divide by -3, and we get -7/3 and (-7/3, 0)
