Avegetable garden and a surrounding path are shaped like a square that together are 11 ft wide. the path is 2 feet wide. if one bag of gravel cover 9 square feet, how many bags are needed to cover the path?

The answer to your question is: 8 bags of gravel

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

width = 11 ft

path = 2 ft

bag of gravel = 9 ft²

Area of a square garden with path= 11 x 11 = 121 ft²

Area of the square garden = 7 x 7 = 49 ft².

Area of the path = 121 - 49 = 72 ft²

# of bags = 72 / 9 = 8 bags

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
