Complete question :
A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?
1) 2 1/2 feet
2) 3 feet
4) 5 feet
5) 8 1/2 feet
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for X in the perimeter equation :
2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74
Open the bracket
2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74
2(27 + 4x) = 74
54 + 8x = 74
8x = 74 - 54
8x = 20
x = 20/8
x = 2.5
Hence, width fo border = 2.5

Answer:
a. The percentage of vehicles who pass through this construction zone who are exceeding the posted speed limit =90.82%
b. Percentage of vehicles travel through this construction zone with speeds between 50 mph and 55 mph= 2.28%
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find
a) P(X>40)= 1- P(x=40)
Using the z statistic
Here
x= 40 mph
u= 44mph
σ= 3 mph
z=(40-44)/3=-1.33
From the z-table -1.67 = 0.9082
a) P(X>40)=
Probability exceeding the speed limit = 0.9082 = 90.82%
b) P(50<X<55)
Now
z1 = (50-44)/3 = 2
z2 = (55-44)/3= 3.67
Area for z>3.59 is almost equal to 1
From the z- table we get
P(55 < X < 60) = P((50-44)/3 < z < (55-44)/3)
= P(2 < z < 3.67)
= P(z<3.67) - P(z<2)
= 1 - 0.9772
= 0.0228
or 2.28%
