Lee is planning a square garden with a life-size chessboard in the middle of it, and a walking path all the way around the chessboard. They will be using 2ft by 2ft square stones for each square of the chessboard. (A chessboard is a grid that is eight squares long and eight squares wide.) Their entire chess garden, with the chessboard and the path around it included, will be 676 square feet. Here is a diagram showing just the chessboard:

How wide is the path around the chessboard in their garden?

Clearly explain your process, including both diagrams and calculations. You should include a description of the problem, how you modeled it using mathematics, and how you answered it using your model.

* Please help*

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.

answer: i guess 5 units?

step-by-step explanation:

dude thats to long figure it

step-by-step explanation:

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
