The answer is 2x^2+2x-14. Using the distributive property, you can find that the area of the pool is x^2+3x+2. Next, you have to find the area of the deck. This will be 3x^2+5x-12. Finally, you subtract the area of the deck by the area of the pool. (3x^2+5x-12)-(x^2+3x+2) comes out to be 2x^2+2x-14. Hope this helps!!
Let me work this out really quick and I'll get back to you
Answer:
Adding 1/4 each time
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4+1/4=1/2
1/2+1/4=3/4
3/4+1/4=1
3 consecutive means
x, x+1, x+2
OR
x, x-1, x-2
the equation based on givens and first equation is:
2(x) + 2(x+1) = 69 - (x+2)
4x + 2 = 67 - x
5x = 65
x = 13
so the largest would be x+2 or 15
