Each term is increasing by *3
Next three terms:
6, 18, 54
Answer: 80
Step-by-step explanation:
because if you took off a 70 or 71 it would go above 86 if you took of 85 it would be below 86 so it has to be 80
Suppose the width of the path is x.
the dimensions of the extended rectangle are (12+x+x), and (16+x+x)
(12+2x)(16+2x)=285
4x²+56x+192=285
4x²+56x-93=0
Not easy to factor it, so use the quadratic formula to solve:
x={-56+√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4 or x={-56-√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4
x=1.5 (ignore the negative solution.)
The answer will going to be A
