The width of rectangle is 5 feet.

Let us assume the length of rectangle to be x. So, the width of rectangle will be (x - 3).

Now, as per the known fact, perimeter, length and width of rectangle are related by the formula -

Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)

Keep the values in formula to find the value of width

26 = 2 × (x + x - 3)

Performing addition of variables inside the bracket

26 = 2 × (2x - 3)

Shifting 2 to other side of equation to find the value of x

2x - 3 = \frac{26}{2}

Performing division to find the value of x

2x - 3 = 13

Shifting 3 to other side of equation to find the value of x

2x = 13 + 3

Performing addition to find the value of x

2x = 16

Shifting 2 as denominator to other side of equation to find the value of x

x = \frac{16}{2}

Performing division to find the value of x

x = 8

So, length of rectangle is 8 feet

Width of rectangle = x - 3

Width of rectangle = 8 - 3

Width of rectangle = 5 feet

Hence, the width of rectangle is 5 feet.

Find the area of the shaded region. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1
Digiron [165]

Answer:

P(z

And the best option would be:

0.8708

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the distribution for the random variable is:

X \sim N (\mu=0 , \sigma=1)

For this case we want to calculate the following probability:

P(z

And we can use the normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

P(z

And the best option would be:

0.8708

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE RIGHT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIST
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up equation for this one.

Let's say the number is X.

the sum of X and 14 can be expressed as : X+14

five times the sum of X and 14 can be expressed as 5(x+14)

and 5(X+14) = 80

5(x+14) = 80\\x+14 = 80 \div 5 = 16\\x = 16-14 = 2

The number  is 2

I NEED HELP ASAP!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

y= 2x-3  m=2 b= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

we distribute 2(x-2)

y-1 = 2(x-2)

y-1 = 2x-4

then add one to both sides

y-1= 2x -4

 +1       +1

since it is negative four and you are adding one it would be -3

y= 2x -3  that is your slope intercept form.

y= mx +b  so m=2 and b= -3
