5 1/9 - 5 5/6 is 3.27, if you want it rounded to the nearest whole number then that would by 3
have a nice day :)
Answer: 2 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w = width of the cement path.
Dimensions of pool : Length = 15 meters , width = 9 meters
Area of pool = length x width = 15 x 9 = 135 square meters
Along width cement path, the length of region = 
width = 
Area of road with pool = 
Area of road = (Area of road with pool ) -(area of pool)
![\Rightarrow\ 112 =4w^2+48w+135- 135\\\\\Rightarrow\ 112= 4w^2+48w\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4 w^2+48w-112=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+12w-28=0\ \ \ [\text{Divide both sides by 4}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+14w-2w-28=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w(w+14)-2(w+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (w+14)(w-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w=-14\ or \ w=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%5C%20112%20%3D4w%5E2%2B48w%2B135-%20135%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20112%3D%204w%5E2%2B48w%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%204%20w%5E2%2B48w-112%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%5E2%2B12w-28%3D0%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BDivide%20both%20sides%20by%204%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%5E2%2B14w-2w-28%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%28w%2B14%29-2%28w%2B14%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20%28w%2B14%29%28w-2%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20%20w%3D-14%5C%20or%20%5C%20w%3D2)
width cannot be negative, so w=2 meters
Hence, the width of the road = 2 meters.
<h3><u>(2x - 5)(4x - 3)</u></h3>
The AC method, also known as splitting the middle, can be shown like this:
8x^2 - 26x + 15
<em><u>Check factors of 120.</u></em>
1 * 120
-1 * -120
2 * 60
-2 * -60
3 * 40
-3 * -40
5 * 24
-5 * -24
6 * 20
-6 * -20 (these factors, when added together, are equal to the middle term, and thus splitting the middle term is possible.)
<em><u>Split the middle term.</u></em>
8x^2 - 6x - 20x + 15
<em><u>Group in terms of 2.</u></em>
(8x^2 - 6x) - (20x + 15)
<em><u>Factor each binomial.</u></em>
2x(4x - 3) - 5(4x - 3)
<em><u>Rearrange the terms.</u></em>
(2x - 5)(4x - 3)
