Answer:

w = 12

l = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Recall the perimeter of a rectangle is <u>twice the sum of the length and the width of the rectangle.</u>

  • P = 2(l + w)

Let w be the width. The length is 6 less than twice the width. That means, l is 2w - 6.

Plug it into the formula and solve, given that P is 60.

<h3>Solve for w</h3>
  • P = 2(l + w)
  • 60 = 2(2w - 6 + w)
  • 60 = 2(3w - 6)
  • 60 = 6w - 12
  • 72 = 6w
  • w = 12

The width is 12 inches. We can plug in 12 for 2w - 6 to find the length.

<h3>Solve for l</h3>
  • l = 2w - 6
  • l = 2(12) - 6
  • l = 24 - 6
  • l = 18

The length is 18 inches.

The width is 12 inches, and the length is 18 inches.

Find the slope of a line with equation 4y + x = 8.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

m = -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

4y + x = 8

Arrange the equation in a slope intercept form y = mx+b, where m is the slope

4y + x = 8, subtract x from both sides

    4y = -x +8, divide both sides by 4

      y = -x/4 + 8/4 , simplify

      y = -x/4 + 2, compare this to the general form y=mx+b and we see that the slope m = -1/4

Find the volume of the composite space figure to the nearest whole number.
Romashka [77]

Answer:

  d.  944 mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by ...

  A = πr² . . . . . where r is the radius, half the diameter

The area of a circle with diameter 9 mm is ...

  A = π(4.5 mm)² = 20.25π mm²

The area of the semi-circular end of the prism is half this value, or ...

  semicircle area = (1/2)(20.25π mm²) = 10.125π mm² ≈ 31.809 mm²

__

The area of the rectangular portion of the end of the prism is the product of its width and height:

  A = wh = (9 mm)(6 mm) = 54 mm²

Then the base area of the prism is ...

  base area = rectangle area + semicircle area

  = (54 mm²) +(31.809 mm²) = 85.809 mm²

__

This base area multiplied by the 11 mm length of the prism gives its volume:

  V = Bh = (85.809 mm²)(11 mm) ≈ 944 mm³

The volume of the composite figure is about 944 mm³.

Are 5.5 + 2.1x + 3.8x - 4.1 and 1.4 5.9x equivalent
Marat540 [252]

5.5 + 2.1x + 3.8x - 4.1

5.5-4.1 +x(2.1+3.8)

1.4 +x(5.9)

5.9x+1.4

these are equivalent if there is a plus sign between  1.4 5.9x
