Answer:
3 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the pathway be x
Area: (9+2x)(4+2x)
36 + 8x + 18x + 4x²
4x² + 26x + 36
Increased area is 150:
4x² + 26x + 36 = 150
4x² + 26x - 114 = 0
2x² + 13x - 57 = 0
2x² + 19x - 6x - 57 = 0
x(2x + 19) - 3(2x + 19) = 0
(x - 3)(2x + 19) = 0
x = 3, x = -19/2
15=7x+1-5x
Put like terms together. ( group anything alike)
15+1=16
7x-5x=2x
16 2x
—- ——-
2x 2x
2x/2x cancels itself out.
16 divided by 2 is 8
x=8
I hope this helped!
Answer:
9*(6+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), to do this we have to see all the factors of 54 and 63 and find the greatest factor that they have in common.
Factors of 54
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54
Factors of 63
1,3,7,9,21,63
The GCF is 9 because is the greatest factor that is common to both numbers.
Now we have to divide 54/9 and 63/9
54/9 = 6
63/9 = 7
So now we can write the product of the GCF and another sum:
9*(6+7)
<em>We can prove this by solving both expressions:</em>
<em>54+63 = 9*(6+7)</em>
<em>117 = 9*13</em>
<em>117 = 117 </em>
<em>The results are equal so we prove it is right.</em>
Answer:
1 and 1/8
Use common denominators:
5/8 - 4/8
so the answer is the 4th one
