The length and the width of the rectangle are 20 and 14 inches respectively

<h3>How to find the length and width?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Length = 6 + Width

Perimeter = 68 inches

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as:

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

So, we have:

2 * (Length + Width) = 68

Divide both sides by 2

Length + Width = 34

Substitute Length = 6 + Width in Length + Width = 34

6 + Width + Width = 34

Evaluate the like terms

2 * Width = 28

Divide both sides by 2

Width = 14

Substitute Width = 14 in Length = 6 + Width

Length = 6 + 14

Evaluate

Length = 20

Hence, the length and the width of the rectangle are 20 and 14 inches respectively

Only selections B and D give a maximum height of 13 at t=3. However, both of those functions have the height be -5 at t=0, meaning the ball was served from 5 ft below ground. This does not seem like an appropriate model.

We suspect ...
• the "correct" answers are probably B and D
• whoever wrote the problem wasn't paying attention.

Answer: £23,360

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use algebra to solve this.

Assume that the original investment is x.

In the beginning of 2015 the balance had increased by 2.5% which is denoted as:

= 1.025x

Carol then withdrew a thousand:

= 1.025x - 1,000

This value then increased by 2.5% again by the beginning of 2016:

= 1.025 * (1.025x - 1,000)

Relevant expression therefore is:

1.025 *(1.025x - 1,000) = 23,517.60

1.025x - 1,000 = 23,517.60/1.025

1.025x = ‭22,944‬ + 1,000

x = 23,944/1.025

x = £23,360

What is the solution to the system of equation <br><br> -2x+6y=-38<br> 3x-4y=32

Alla [95]

Answer:

x= 4

y= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+6y=-38 equation 1

3x-4y=32 equation 2

using equation 1 we have:

-2x+6y=-38

6y +38 = 2x

3y + 19 = x equation 3

using equation 3 in equation 2 we have:

3(3y + 19) - 4y = 32

9y + 57 -4y =32

5y = 32 -57

5y = -25

y= -25/5

y = -5

so we have:

3y + 19 = x

3(-5) +19 = x

x= 4
