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

Solve for x<br> 1 7 1<br> 2<br> х<br> Your answer
ki77a [65]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -5 = -2 + 9

-2 + 9 = 7 so now its 3x - 5 = 7

add 5 to the -5 so it cancels itself out. then add the 5 to 7 so it become 12. the you have 3x = 12

divide 12 ÷ 3 = 4

x = 4

What is the solution of quadratic system of equations ?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

(- 1, 1) and (- 5, - 35)

Step-by-step explanation:

since both equations express y in terms of x, equate the right sides

x² + 15x + 15 = - x² + 3x + 5 ( subtract - x² + 3x + 5 from both sides )

2x² + 12x + 10 = 0  ( divide all terms by 2 )

x² + 6x + 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(x + 5) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

substitute these values into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

x = - 1 : y = (- 1)² + 15(- 1) + 15 = 1 - 15 + 15 = 1 ⇒ (- 1, 1 )

x = - 5 : y = (- 5)² + 15(- 5) + 15 = 25 - 75 + 15 = - 35 ⇒ (- 5, - 35 )

None of the given options
