The  variable x represent the length of rectangle.

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values.

In order to determine the values, these symbols are also subjected to various addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division arithmetic operations.

Given:

Perimeter= 64 units

let the length be x.

So, width = x - 3

So, Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + w)

64 = 2( x+ x -3)

32 = 2x -3

29= 2x

x= 29/2

Hence, the variable x represent the length of rectangle.

the sum of three numbers is 128.The third number is 10 more than the first .The second number 4 times the third number. what are
Ray Of Light [21]
128 = a + + 4(a + 10) + (a + 10)
128 = a + 4a + 40 + a + 10
128 = 6a + 50
128-50 = 6a
78 = 6a
13 = a

1st = a = 13
2nd = 4(a + 10) = 4(23) = 92
3rd = a + 10 = 23
