The value of x is 3, while the length of the rectangle is 30 units and the width is 24 units.
<h3>How to determine the dimensions?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Base = 5(x+3)
Height = 2(x+9)
Perimeter = 108
The perimeter of a rectangle is
P = 2 *(Base + Height)
So, we have:
2 *(5(x + 3) + 2(x + 9)) = 108
Divide both sides by 2
5(x + 3) + 2(x + 9) = 54
Open the brackets
5x + 15 + 2x + 18 = 54
Evaluate the like terms
7x = 21
Divide by 7
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 in Base = 5(x+3) and Height = 2(x+9)
Base = 5(3+3) = 30
Height = 2(3+9) = 24
Hence, the value of x is 3, while the length of the rectangle is 30 units and the width is 24 units.

So discount means taken off
we find 15% of 199 and subtract from 199
% means parts out of 100 so 15%=15/100=1.5/10=.15/1=0.15
'of' means multiply
15% of 199=0.15 times 199=29.85
discount so 199-29.85=169.15
answer is $169.15
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4y = 1 --> (1)
5x - 20y = 4 --> (2)
y = (¼)x - ¼ --> (1)
y = (¼)x - ⅕ --> (2)
Since these are 2 parallel lines with different y-intercepts, they will never meet
Do you have an example of what the "Constant of proportionality" would be for a different question?
