8x-4=-32 so thats an equation that you can use
a(x+1)(x-1)+b(x-2)(x+1)+(x+1)^2=9x^2-x-10
(x+1)(a(x-1)+b(x-2)+(x+1))=(x+1)(9x-10)
a(x-1)+b(x-2)+x+1=9x-10
Now this equation is much simpler!
(a+b)x-a-2b+x+1=9x-10
(a+b)x-a-2b=8x-11
(a+b-8)x-a-2b-11=0
a+b-8=(a+2b-11)/x
I can't solve it 3 variables and 1 equations means infinite answers so yea.
The answer is B because 5 times x is 5x and 5 times 6 is 30. Since there is a subtraction sign, it would be equal to 5x-30
Let us calculate the area of the walk.
Since the width of the walk is 3 feet, and the walk will be placed all the 4 sides,
Length of the plot including walk = 20 + (2 × 3) = 20 + 6 = 26 feet.
Breadth of the plot including walk = 30 + (2 × 3) = 36 feet.
Area of the plot including walk = 26 × 36 square feet.
Area of the plot = 20 × 30 square feet.
Area of the walk = (26 × 36) - (20 × 30)
= 936 - 600
= 336 square feet.
=
square yards
= 37.3 square yards
Cost of the walk per square yard = $12.25.
Therefore, total cost of the walk = 12.25 × 37.3 = $456.92.
