Answer:
Approximately 3.5 feet - Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine that you have this walkway around the garden, with dimensions 30 by 20 feet. This walkway has a difference of x feet between it's length, and say the dimension 30 feet. In fact it has a difference of x along both dimensions - on either ends. Therefore, the increases length and width should be 30 + 2x, and 20 + 2x, which is with respect to an increases area of 1,000 square feet.
( 30 + 2x )
( 20 + 2x ) = 1000 - Expand "( 30 + 2x )
( 20 + 2x )"
600 + 100x + 4
= 1000 - Subtract 1000 on either side, making on side = 0
4
+ 100x - 400 = 0 - Take the "quadratic equation formula"
( Quadratic Equation is as follows ) -
,
,

There can't be a negative width of the walkway, hence our solution should be ( in exact terms )
. The approximated value however is 3.5081...or approximately 3.5 feet.
The answer to the question is A
Answer:
10 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
4x2=8. 8+ the 2 cups in the beginning would be 10 cups.
Answer:
-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two points, we can find the slope by
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-7 - -1)/ (5-1)
= (-7+1)/(5-1)
= -6/4
= -3/2
