Solve 5(6p-4) = 10

Thank you

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one distribute the 5

30p-20=10

then add 20 to both sides

30p=30

then divide by 30 to get

p=1

The border is 3 in wide along all edges of the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are told the total area is 3276 ft² and the dimensions of the table is 36 x 72 in

Either you really mean that the area is in in², or you have a huge border.

Presuming that the area is really in², adding in the border of "x" in makes the total length and width to be:

l = 72 + 2x

w = 36 + 2x

A = lw

3276= (72 + 2x)(36 + 2x)

3276 = 2592 + 216x + 4x²

subtracting 3276 from both sides:

4x² + 216x - 684 = 0

You would use the second of your four options to determine the length of the border.

Dividing both sides by 4:

x² + 54x - 171 = 0

completing the square:

x² + 54x = 171

x² + 54x + 729 = 171 + 729

(x + 27)² = 900

x + 27 = ± 30

x = -27 ± 30

Throwing out the negative number, our remaining x is:

x = 3

The border is 3 in wide along all edges of the table.
