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!

Problem Lois and Clark own a company that sells wagons. The amount they pay each of their sales employees (in dollars) is given
Oxana [17]
12h + 30w.....where h = hrs worked and w = wagons sold

so if an employee works 6 hrs and sells 3 wagons....then h = 6 and w = 3

12h + 30w
12(6) + 30(3) =
72 + 90 = $ 162 <==

Jackson goes to the gym 0, 2, or 3 days per week, depending on work demands. The expected value of the number of days per week t
valina [46]

For a probability distribution the expected value is the summation of product of probabilities with their respective data values. Let x be the probability that Jackson goes gym for 2 days and y be the probability that he goes gym for 3 days.

For the given case we have following values and their probabilities:

0 : 0.1

2 : x

3 : y

So the expected value will be = 0(0.1) + 2(x) + 3(y)

Expected value is given to be 2.05. So we can write the equation as:

2x + 3y = 2.05 (Equation 1)

Also for a probability distribution, the sum of probabilities must always equal to 1. So we can set up the second equation as:

0.1 + x + y = 1

x + y = 0.9 (Equation 2)

From Equation 2 we can write the value of x to be x = 0.9 - y. Using this value in equation 1, we get:

2(0.9 - y) + 3y = 2.05

1.8 - 2y + 3y = 2.05

1.8 + y = 2.05

y = 0.25

Using the value of y in equation 2 we get value of x to be 0.65

Therefore we can conclude that:

The probability that Jackson goes to gym for 2 days is 0.65 and the probability that he goes to gym for 3 days is 0.25

Answer:

Angle PQW is equal to 35 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle PQW = 36x - 1

Angle WQR = 134x

Angle PQR = 169 degrees

To find angle PQW, Set Angles PQR and WQR to PQW. The equation should look like this:

PQR - WQR = PQW

Substitute in the values

169 - 134x = 36x - 1

Now add 134x to both sides and add 1 to both sides.

170 = 170x

Now divide 170 from both sides

x = 1

Plug x into angle PQW

36(1) - 1 = 35
