Answer:The area of the walkway around is 26 x + 16 as the sum of two terms

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular garden has a walkway around it

1. The area of the garden is 4(4.5 x + 1.5)

2. The combined area of the garden and the walkway is 5.5(8 x + 4)

We need to find the area of the the walkway

To find the area of the walkway by subtracting the area of the

rectangle from the combined area

∵ The combined area = 5.5(8 x + 4) ⇒ simplify it

∴ The combined area = 5.5(8 x) + 5.5(4)

∴ The combined area = 44 x + 22

∵ The area of the garden = 4(4.5 x + 1.5) ⇒ simplify it

∴ The area of the garden = 4(4.5 x) + 4(1.5)

∴ The area of the garden = 18 x + 6

Now subtract the area of the garden from the combined area

∵ Area of the walkway = (44 x + 22) - (18 x + 6)

∴ Area of the walkway = 44x + 22 - 18 x - 6

- Add like terms

∴ Area of the walkway = (44 x - 18 x) + (22 - 6)

∴ Area of the walkway = 26 x + 16

The area of the walkway around is 26 x + 16 as the sum of two terms

Convert the function into intercept form. Show your work. y=x^2+5x-36

Allisa [31]

Answer:

y = (x - 4)(x + 9).

Step-by-step explanation:

Intercept form is y = a(x + b)(x + c)

y = x^2 + 5x - 36.

Here the coefficient of x^2 is 1 so a = 1.

To find b and c we need 2 numbers whose product is -36 and whose sum = +5. These are + 9 and - 4 so the answer is:

y = (x - 4)(x + 9).

To carry a bag of 50kg rice at the distance of 4

raketka [301]

Answer:

The porter charges Rs 300 at this rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question by proportions, using rule of three.

75 Rs - 4 km - 50 kg

x Rs - 10 km - 80 kg

Relationship between the variables:

As the distance, or the weight increase, the rate will increase. This means that:

$\frac{75}{x} = \frac{4*50}{10*80}$

$\frac{75}{x} = \frac{200}{800}$

$\frac{75}{x} = \frac{2}{8}$

$x = \frac{75*8}{2} = 75*4 = 300$

The porter charges Rs 300 at this rate.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{15}$ of a gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's just:

$\frac{1}{3} *\frac{1}{5} =\frac{1}{15}$

So $\frac{1}{15}$ of a gallon on each sundae.
