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

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

 5.93 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The continuous compounding formula tells you the amount after t years will be ...

  A = Pe^(rt) . . . . principal P compounded continuously at annual rate r for t years

  7400 = 5500e^(0.05t)

  ln(7400/5500) = 0.05t . . . . divide by 5500, take natural logs

  t = 20×ln(74/55) ≈ 5.93

It will take about 5.93 years for $5500 to grow to $7400.

algol [13]
If the ball hit the ground it means that its height is equal to 0. In order to find the time after the ball <span>will hit the ground, we need to find the solution of the equation h(x)=0 which is different to 0.

-4.9x^2+21.3x=0
x(-4.9x+21.3)=0
-4.9x+21.3=0
x=21.3/4.9 = 4.3469 seconds</span>

Angle OPM and Angle LMK

When angles are corresponding, they're essentially on the same side. It's sort of hard to explain, so I'll attach a drawing. The one on the left with the check mark is a corresponding angle, and the one on the right with the X is a same-side angle. Essentially, corresponding angles are on the same side and are also equal, unlike same-side angles, which are supplementary angles.

Let me know if you don't understand my explanation.
