The width of the pathway is 3m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the pathway be 'w'
The area will be 130 square meters
The dimensions of the garden is 10 x 7
Area = (10+w) (7+w)
130 = 70 + 17w + w^2
w^2 + 17w - 60 = 0
w^2 +20w - 3w - 60 = 0
w ( w + 20) - 3 ( w + 20) = 0
(w + 20) (w - 3) = 0
w = -20 ( or) w = 3
w is the width and cannot be negative.
So, w = 3 meters
The width of the pathway is 3m
The answer is Value equals 1583.36 cubic feet
It all depends on the math question but usually you solve for x, then check it. Plug x back in and see if it works. But it all depends on the math problem
2 because the equation can be reduced to: 8.0 x 10^4.
