A rectangle's is 8cm more than three times its width. If the perimeter is 128 cm, find the length

1 answer:

5 0

Hello!

To solve this we will use substitutions and a system of equations where L= length and w=width.

128=2L+2w
L=8+3w

We will substitute L with what it says it equals in the second equation.

128=2(8+3w)+2w
128=16+8w
112=8w
14=w

Now we find the length in the second equation.
L=8+42
L=50
Now we check the length and width in the original equation.
128=100+28
128=128

The length is 50 cm, and the width is 14.

Hope this helps!

Lianne drew a sphere with a radius of 7 in. She calculated its volume and wrote it below.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is found by $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

The radius is 7 so this should give you (4/3)pi(7)^3

(4/3)pi(343)

$\frac{1372}{3} \pi$

Hopefully this is the format it is in... Hope this helps :)

Suppose that x and y vary inversely, and x = 7 and y=11. Which function models the inverse variation?Answers:Y=1.57xY=77/xY=4/xY

sdas [7]

Answer:

Y=77/x

Explanation:

Y varies inversely with x meaning

$y\propto\frac{1}{x}$

adding a proportionality constant gives

$y\propto\frac{k}{x}$

Now, we are told that y = 11 and x = 7; therefore, the above gives

$11=\frac{k}{7}$

Solving for k gives

$k=77$

Therefore, the function that models the inverse variation is

$y=\frac{77}{x}$

which is our answer!

Josie has $47 left on her checking account. If she writes a check for $55, what ill josie's balance be?

Sidana [21]

Well technically the check will not go through because she does not have a balance greater than or equal to $55, but if you need an answer it would be $47-$55= $-8.
