Area of a rectangle = length (l) * width (w)
A = 30ft * 20ft
A = 600 sq ft
Now the width of a sidewalk that surroundeds it = 3 ft
so now the area of the rectangle with sidewalk= 30+3ft * 20+3ft
A = (33*23) ft
A = 759 sg ft
Area of the sidewalk = 759 - 600
A = 159 sq ft
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3x-8)=4x+6
First you would distribute the 3 on the L side to the parenthasies
9x-24=4x+6
Then, you would subtract 4x from both sides because it is the smallest X value
5x-24=6
Add 24 to both sides (inverse operations)
5x=30
divide both sides by 5
x=6
