Answer:

width of the sidewalk = 1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the pool = length × width

Length = 10 feet

Width = 6 feet

Area of the pool = length × width

= 10 feet × 6 feet

= 60 feet²

Area of the pool = 60 feet²

Total area = Area of the pool + Area of sidewalk

96 feet² = 60 feet ² + Area of sidewalk

Area of sidewalk = 96 feet² - 60 feet ²

Area of sidewalk = 36 feet²

Length of pool + sidewalk = 10 + 2x

width of pool + sidewalk = 6 + 2x

( 10 + 2 x ) ( 6 + 2 x ) -60 = 36

60 + 20x + 12x + 4x² - 60 = 36

4x² + 32x - 36 = 0

4x² + 36x - 4x - 36 = 0

4x (x + 9) -4(x + 9) = 0

(4x - 4) (x + 9) = 0

4(x - 1) (x + 9) = 0

(x - 1) = 0 (x + 9) = 0

x = 1 or x = -9

The width of the side walk can't be a negative value

Therefore, width of the sidewalk = 1 feet

Solve. −35x+15&gt;720 Drag and drop a number or symbol into each box to show the solution.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The solution of the inequality - 35x + 15 > 720  is x

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given inequality

- 35x + 15 > 720

Subtract both side by 15 , we get

- 35x + 15 - 15 > 720 - 15

- 35x > 705

Multiply both sides by -1 (Reverse the inequality )

(-35x)(-1) < 705 (-1)

35x < -705

Now, divide both side by 35

\frac{35x}{35}=\frac{-705}{35}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{-141}{7}

Thus, the solution of the inequality - 35x + 15 > 720  is x

What is the solution of the inequality x/3 &gt; 1?
Alika [10]
If you would like to know what is the solution of the inequality x/3 > 1, you can calculate this using the following step:

x/3 > 1    /*3
x > 1 * 3
x > 3

The correct result would be x > 3.

Use the diagram to find the measure of each angle. Enter the number only.
Pavlova-9 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a = 64, b = 90, c = 26, d = 90, e = 26, f = 120, g = 120, h = 60,

  i = 56, j = 124, k = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent; linear pairs are supplementary; two angles dividing a right angle are complementary. These are the angle relations you need to know to solve this.

__

Working from the top and from the given angles, ...

  h = 60°

  f = g = 180° -h = 120°

  j = 124°

  k = i = 180° -124° = 56°

  a = 64°

  b = d = 90°

  c = e = 90° -64° = 26°

In summary, measures in degrees are ...

  a = 64, b = 90, c = 26, d = 90, e = 26, f = 120, g = 120, h = 60,

  i = 56, j = 124, k = 56
