GIVING BRAINLIEST! A rectangular garden has a width of 10 feet and a length of 14 feet. A cement walkway is added around the out

side of the garden. The area of the garden and the walkway together are 396 square feet. What is the width of the walkway?
I will give you a hint on how to start:

The new width is 10 + 2x and the new length is 14 + 2x.

Given:

Width of a garden = 10 feet

Length of the garden = 14 feet

Area of the garden and the walkway together = 396 square feet.

To find:

The width of the walkway.

Solution:

A cement walkway is added around the outside of the garden.

Let x be the width of the walkway.

The width of the garden with walkway = 10+2x

The length of the garden with walkway = 14+2x

Area of a rectangle is

Area=length\times width

Area of garden and the walkway together is

Area=(14+2x)\times (10+2x)

396=140+28x+20x+4x^2

396=140+48x+4x^2

396=4(35+12x+x^2)

Divide both sides by 4.

99=35+12x+x^2

0=35-99+12x+x^2

0=-64+12x+x^2

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2+16x-4x-64=0

x(x+16)-4(x+16)=0

(x+16)(x-4)=0

Using zero product property, we get

(x+16)=0\text{ and }(x-4)=0

x=-16\text{ and }x=4

Width of walkway cannot be negative. So, x=4.

Therefore, the width of the walkways is 4 feet.

A simulation is a mathematical model used to represent a situation.

  • A simulation can be a program or a physical test to "simulate" a situation to predict the outcomes.

When we combine two or more simple events we have a compound event

  • "Compound" means to combine, like a compound word would be a combination of two words

A Tree Diagram is a diagram that shows all the possible outcomes of an event

  • In a tree diagram, each possible outcome "branches" off the main stem, making the final diagram look like a tree with many separating branches.

All the possible outcomes or results is called the sample space

  • The outcomes are each different samples, and a sample space is a space that collects each of these samples

When an event is not affected by a previous outcome we have an independent event

  • This event is "independent", not affected by other factors, making it an independent event

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

The point (p,q) is on the graph of values from a ratio table. What is another point on the graph?
Anestetic [448]

In the previous activities, we constructed a number of tables.  Once we knew the first numbers in the table, we were often able to predict what the next numbers would be.  Whenever we can predict numbers in one row of a table by multiplying numbers in another row of a table by a given number, we call the relationship between the numbers a ratio.  There are ratios in which both items have the same units (they are often called proper ratios).  For example, when we compared the diameter of a circle to its circumference, both measured in centimeters, we were using a same-units ratio.  Miles per gallon is a good example of a different-units ratio.  If we did not specifically state that we were comparing miles to gallons, there would be no way to know what was being compared!

When both quantities in a ratio have the same units, it is not necessary to state the unit.  For instance, let's compare the quantity of chocolate chips used when Mary and Quinn bake cookies.  If Mary used 6 ounces and Quinn used 9 ounces, the ratio of Mary's usage to Quinn's would be 2 to 3 (note that the order of the numbers must correspond to the verbal order of the items they represent).  How do we get this?       One way would be to build a table where the second row was always one and a half times as much as the first row.  This is the method we used in the first two lessons.  Another way is to express the items being compared as a fraction complete with units:

<span>6 ounces
9 ounces</span>Notice that both numerator and denominator have the same units and thus we can "cancel out" the units.  Notice also that both numerator and denominator have values that are divisible by three.  When expressing ratios, we generally treat them like fractions and "reduce" or simplify them to the smallest numbers possible (fraction and colon forms use two numbers, as a 3:1 ratio, whereas the decimal fraction form uses a single number—for example, 3.0—that is implicitly compared to the whole number 1).<span>
