Sabrina has a rug with a perimeter of 18 feet. She decides to place a border around the rug so that the new length of the rug is

8 feet and the width is 4 feet. The border is the same width all the way around. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2(8-2x)+ 2(4-2x)=18. What is the width of the border?
a. 3/4

b. 1 1/2

c. 1 ft

d. 3 ft

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: a. \frac{3}{4}

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since we are given the equation which represents the width of the border (x) we only need to isolate the variable (x), so:

2(8-2x)+2(4-2x)=18\\16-4x+8-4x=18\\24-8x=18\\8x=24-18\\8x=6\\x=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

So, the width of the border is: \frac{3}{4}

Have a nice day!

What must be subtracted from 4x4 - 2x3 -6x2 + x - 5 so that the result is exactly divisible by 2x2 + 3x - 2? PLS ANSWER. I WILL
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we should use the Euclidean division :

  • Our polynomial function is 16-2x³-6x²+x+9=-2x³-6x²+x+9
  • we should divided by :  4+3x-2=3x+2 and see the rest

Here is a picture with the operation

  • the rest is 47/9 so the number I SHOULD SUBSTACT IS 47/9

Rui is a professional deep water free diver.
Vladimir [108]
The correct question is 
<span>Rui is a professional deep water free diver. His altitude (in meters relative to sea level), xxx seconds after diving, is modeled by: d(x)=1/2x^2 -10x What is the lowest altitude Rui will reach?

we have that
</span>d(x)=(1/2)x² -10x

we know that
the function is quadratic (a parabola) 
so
<span>the lowest altitude (depth) is the vertex
</span>
using a graph tool
see the attached figure

the vertex is the point  (10,-50)
that means
His altitude (in meters relative to sea level), 10 seconds after diving is 50 meters under the sea level

therefore
the answer is
<span>the lowest altitude is 50 meters under the sea level</span>

The price of a ring was increased by 9% to £1800. What was the price before the increase? Give your answer to the nearest penny.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1651

Step-by-step explanation:

let s say that the price before the increase is x

to apply an increase of 9% it does x + x*0.09 = x*(1+0.09)=x*1.09

and we know that this value is 1800

so

x*1.09=1800

<=>

x = 1800/1.09=1651.376147

to the nearest penny it gives 1651
