A rectangle is no more than six inches wide, and its perimeter measures 28 inches. At least how long is the rectangle?

1 answer:

6 0

Hello,

Assume w the wide and l the length of the rectangle.

w<6 (1)
2l+2w=28==>l+w=14==>w=14-l

(1)==> 14-l<6
==>14-6<l
==>l>8

Answer:

<h2>3. Infinitely many</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}ax+by=c\\dx+ey=f\end{array}\right\\\\(1)\\\text{if}\ a=d,\ b=e,\ c=f,\ \text{then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=5\\2x-3y=5\end{array}\right\\(2)\\\text{if}\ a=d,\ b=e,\ c\neq f,\ \text{then the system of equations has no solution}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=5\\2x-3y=-5\end{array}\right$

$(3)\\\text{if}\ a\neq d\ \text{or}\ b\neq e,\ \text{then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-3y=5\\2x-3y=5\end{array}\right$

$\text{We have:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x=-10y+6&\text{add 10y to both sides}\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+10y=6&\text{divide both sides by 2}\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+5y=3\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right$

Solve: -3= 12x-5(2x-7)

leonid [27]

Answer:

x = -19

Step-by-step explanation:

-3= 12x-5(2x-7)

Distribute

-3= 12x-10x+35

Combine like terms

-3 = 2x +35

Subtract 35 from each side

-3-35 = 2x+35-35

-38 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

-38/2 = 2x/2

-19 =x

An unfair die is twice as likely to roll an even number than an odd number. what is the probability of it rolling an odd number?

Anarel [89]

The probability is always expressed as a part of the whole. So, it can be in terms of fraction or percentage. The numerator is the number of possible events while the denominator is the number of total events. Let x be the number of times you roll an odd number. So, the number of times you roll an even number would be 2x. The total rolls would then be x + 2x. Thus, the probability of rolling an odd number is

Probability = x/(2x + x) = x/3x = 1/3
