Set the shorter side of rectangle as X m
The longer side = (4X-6) m
58 = (X + 4X -6)2
58=10X -12
70 = 10X
X = 7
The shorter side is 7 m
And the longer side is 4 x 7 -6 = 22 m

Answer:

22 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width of the rectangle

Let y = length of the rectangle

<u>Equation 1</u>

If the length of the rectangle is 6 meters shorter than four times the width then:

⇒ y = 4x - 6

<u>Equation 2</u>

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(width + length)

If the perimeter is 58 inches, then:

⇒ 58 = 2(x + y)

<u>Solve by substitution</u>

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

⇒ 58 = 2(x + 4x - 6)

⇒ 58 = 2(5x - 6)

⇒ 58 = 2 · 5x - 2 · 6

⇒ 58 = 10x - 12

⇒ 58 + 12 = 10x -12 + 12

⇒ 10x = 70

⇒ 10x ÷ 10 = 70 ÷ 10

⇒ x = 7

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

⇒ y = 4(7) - 6

⇒ y = 28 - 6

⇒ y = 22

<u>Conclusion</u>

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

  • width = 7 meters
  • length = 22 meters

Therefore, the length of the longer side is 22 meters

which of the following graphs shows a negative linear relationship with a correlation coefficient, r, close to -0.5.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

In the graph attached there is a sample generated with a correlation coefficient r=-0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A value of r that is -0.5 shows that there is a certain correlation and that this correlation is negative.

As there are no examples in this question, I searched for a generator of random samples with a user-input correlation coefficient between the two variables.

In the graph attached there is a sample generated with a correlation coefficient r=-0.5.

jane is twice as old as Barbara. Michael is 7 years older than Jane. If Michael is 21, which equation could be used to find Barb
dedylja [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

J = 2b

M = J + 7

M = 21

J = 21 - 7

J = 14

B = 7

<em>Equation:</em>

If M is J+7, so then J = 21-7. J is 2*b, so 2*b = 21-7. Then you subtract and divide.
