x = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (2x - 36) = 180
3x - 36 = 180
3x = 180 + 36
3x = 216
x = 216/3
x = 72
So as the path adds an extra 2 feet to each side I would start this by adding two feet to each part (so 25+2 x 38+2) which leaves you with 27ft by 40ft. Multiply to find this total area, which results in 1080. Now, you want to remove the actual area of the garden itself as this is not part of the path. So 25x38=950. Subtract 1080 by 950. This gives you just the area of the gardens path which would be 
We can use the FOIL method to solve.
(5x + 3)(7x - 7)
(5x * 7x) + (5x * -7) + (3 * 7x) + (3 * -7)
35x - 35x + 21x - 21
0 + 0
0
Best of Luck!
The mean is 10,724.28.
Explanation:
The mean is all of the values divided by the number of values there are.
So what you have to do is add all of the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers there are.
10,150+10,211+10,424+10,769+10,884+11,155+11,477= 75,070.
Since there are 7 numbers, divide 75,070/7 and you get your mean, which is 10,724.28 rounded.
