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
Let
be the line that passes through both points.
We know that
and
. So:

Solving the system, we get that a= -1 and b = 6.
So the line is equal to
.
We want to solve

Subtract 5 from each side.

Divide each side by 3.

Take natural logs of each side.

Divide each side by 2.
x = 0.9962
Answer: x = 0.996 (nearest thousanth)
Answer:
C:-4x+2
Step-by-step Explanation:

First, do 272 + 38 = 310
Secondly, do 310 - 89 = 231
Third, do 231 ÷ 9 = 25
