Answer:

width = 18 inches

length = 56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width

Let y = length

<u>Equation 1</u>

If length of the rectangle is 2 more than triple the width, then:

⇒ y = 3x + 2

<u>Equation 2</u>

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(width + length)

If the perimeter is 148 inches, then:

⇒ 148 = 2(x + y)

<u>Solve by substitution</u>

Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2 and <u>solve for x</u>:

⇒ 148 = 2(x + 3x + 2)

⇒ 148 = 2(4x + 2)

⇒ 148 = 2 · 4x + 2 · 2

⇒ 148 = 8x + 4

⇒ 148 - 4 = 8x + 4 - 4

⇒ 8x = 144

⇒ 8x ÷ 8 = 144 ÷ 8

⇒ x = 18

Substitute found value of x into Equation 1 and <u>solve for y</u>:

⇒ y = 3(18) + 2

⇒ y = 54 + 2

⇒ y = 56

<u>Conclusion</u>

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

  • width = 18 inches
  • length = 56 inches

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8g^{3} + 10g^{2} - 12g - 15

2g^{2}(4g + 5) - 3(4g + 5)

(2g^{2} - 3)(4g + 5)

(g - \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2})(g + \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2})(4g + 5)

Given system <br><br> 2x-4=5<br><br> 5x+4y=2<br><br> Solve for x and y and SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK
Georgia [21]
I'm solving your system by substitution.
2x-4=5, 5x+4y =2
Step# 1: solve for x
2x - 4+ 4= 5 + 4( add +4 to both sides)
2x = 9
x = 9/2
Step# 2: solve for y

5(9/2) + 4y = 2
4y + 45/2 = 2 
4y 45
y = 45/4 = 11.25
