Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 18 cm
The width of the rectangle is 6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the length of the rectangle
y----> the width of the rectangle
we know that
The perimeter of the rectangle is
we have
so
------> equation A
------> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
48=2(2y+6+y)
48=2(3y+6)
48=6y+12
6y=48-12
y=36/6=6 cm
Find the value of x
x=2(6)+6=18 cm
The area of the rectangle is
A=xy
A=18*6
A=108 cm^2
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = 8x + 2
given: g(x) = 8x + 2 = -62
8x = -62 -2
8x = -64
x = -8
Answer:
x = 7, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
solve for y for the first equation
2x + y = 20
-2x -2x , eliminate 2x
y = 20-2x
now that we have found y, substitute the y in for the second equation
-5y = -6x + 12
-5(20-2x) = -6x + 12, we just changed y into 20-2x. remember that we are multiplying all of 20 - 2x by -5
-100+10x = -6x + 12, we multiplied everything from the parathesis by -5
+100 + 100, eliminate -100
10x = -6x + 112
+6x +6x , eliminate 6x
16x = 112 , solve for x
x = 7
then y = 20 - 2x = 20 - 2*7 = 6
check:
2 * 7 + 6 = 20
20 = 20
-5 * 6 = -6 * 7 + 12
-30 = -42 + 12
-30 = -30
