4y - 20.......u need to find a common factor that can go into 4y and 20.....the only common factor is 4. So u can factor that out.....4 goes into 4 one time (but do not forget the y) and 4 goes into 20 five times....4(y - 5)
4(y - 5)...u can also check ur answer by distributing the 4 through the parenthesis and getting 4 * y - 4 * 5 = 4y - 20
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
Non proportional because 2×$2.40= $4.80 which is not equal to $3.50

Answer:
13) 7 + x/2 = 10
14) 2x - 5 = 7
15) 4x - 1 = 11
16) 6x - 6 = 12
17) x/3 + 10 = 12
18) 2x + 7 = 1
19) 9 + x/7 = 11
20) 8(n - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The quotient of x and 2 = x ÷ 2 = x/2
The product is the result of multiplying two or more other numbers
The sum is the result of adding two or more numbers
The difference is the result of subtracting one number from another
13) 7 + x/2 = 10
14) 2x - 5 = 7
15) 4x - 1 = 11
16) 6x - 6 = 12
17) x/3 + 10 = 12
18) 2x + 7 = 1
19) 9 + x/7 = 11
20) 8(n - 3)
