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

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
