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

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

909 and 3267

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 24 possible combinations using these 4 digits. This means that any one of these combinations subtracted from 4310 would be a possible solution. Therefore, we can create the following 2 combinations (below in bold) and subtract them from 4310 to get two possible solutions...

4310 - 3401 = 909

4310 - 1043 = 3267

Finally, we have two possible solutions which would be 909 and 3267

Name two different numbers that round to 30 when rounded to the nearest ten
andrew11 [14]

For this case we have the following definition:

tens place: number of two digits whose absolute value is greater than zero.

Then, we have the following rounding rule:

If the previous number is greater than or equal to five, the next number increases by one unit.

We then have the following numbers rounded to 30 when rounded to the nearest ten:

26: twenty-six

27: twenty-seven

Answer:

two different numbers that round to 30 when rounded to the nearest ten are:

26: twenty-six

27: twenty-seven
