Midpoint = sum of x and y, divide by 2
Sum of x: 6 + 2 = 8/2 = 4
Sum of y: -5 + 1 = -4/2 = -2
The mid point is (4,-2)
Ok so if we call the width x then the length is 2x-7
Now by adding a 5 foot brick border around the edge the new dimensions are:
x+10 and 2x+3
Now we can form an equation to solve:
(x+10)(2x+3)=195
2x²+23x+30=195
2x²+23x-165=0
Now we can solve this for x
(2x+33)(x-5)=0
So x=-33/2 or x=5
As x cannot be less than 0 x must be equal to 5
So the dimensions of the garden are 5 feet by 3 feet
Answer:
52.5
Step-by-step explanation:
just divide bro it ain't that hard
Answer:
2 sessions, $231
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation (let x represent the number of sessions)
59+86x=63+84x
Subtract 84x from both sides
59+2x=63
Subtract 59 from both sides
2x=4
Divide by 2
x=2
At 2 sessions they will be equal
To find the cost, substitute 2 in for x
59+86(2)=63+84(2)
59+172=63+168
231=231
So, at 2 sessions the plans will cost the same at $231
Hope this helps! :)
Let x be how many hot dogs person b ate
therefore, person a ate x+8 hotdogs
and person c ate x-10 hotdogs
they all ate 130 hotdogs in total so
x + x + 8 + x - 10 = 130
3x -2 = 130
3x = 132
x = 44
so person b ate 44 hotdogs
person a ate 8 more so 52 hotdogs
and person c ate 10 less than person b so 34 hotdogs
