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

you can make a triangle in the corner with legs length s/2 and the angles are 45 degrees. in a 45 45 90 triangle, the legs are h/sqrt(2) where h is the hypotenuse. this means that s/2=9/2 sqrt(2), s=9 sqrt(2)
and s^2=162

Answer:</h3>
- y = -(x -3)² +3 . . . . (agrees with your answer)
- see the attachment for a graph
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Factoring the leading -1 from the first two terms, we have ...
... y = -(x² -6x) -6
Adding 9 inside parentheses to complete the square, then adding the opposite amount outside parentheses, we have ...
... y = -(x² -6x +9) -6 +9
... y = -(x -3)² +3
