There are two equation of the system
(1) The perimeter
     2(w + l) = p
     2(w + l) = 86
(2) The length and the width
      2w = l + 2

From the second equation
2w = l + 2
l + 2 = 2w
l = 2w - 2

Subtitute l with 2w - 2 in the first equation to find the width
2(w + l) = 86
2(w + 2w - 2) = 86
2(3w - 2) = 86
6w - 4 = 86
6w = 90
w = 15

Now, find the length by subtituting w with 15
l = 2w - 2
l = 2(15) - 2
l = 30 - 2
l = 28

The dimension of the rectangle
length = 28 cm
width = 15 cm

What is the area of this figure?
nalin [4]

Answer:

<em>290.5 square miles</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider splitting this figure into two mini rectangles and a triangle, each of given lengths;

Dimensions of Rectangle 1 - Height ; 5 mi, Length ; 7 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 1 - Height * Length = 5 mi * 7 mi = 35 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Rectangle 2 - Height ; 18 mi, Length ; 8 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 2 - Height * Length = 23 mi * 8 mi = 184 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Mini Right Triangle - Height ; 11 mi, Base ; 8 + 5 = 13 mi,\\Area of Mini Right Triangle - 1 / 2 * Base * Height = 1 / 2 * 13 mi * 11 mi = 71.5 mi^2,\\\\Area of Figure = 35 mi^2 + 184 mi^2 + 71.5 mi^2 = 290.5 square miles

<em>Solution; 290.5 square miles</em>

Marvin is buying a watch from his brother
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$30 down  

and 10 installments of $10 each

Step-by-step explanation:

paying $30 down means the left price to divide into installments is : 130-30 = 100

since he will pay the rest in equal installments, we divide  by the number of installments to get how much each one will be :

100/10 = $10

The product of 2 consecutive #s is 4160 what are the numbers?
KengaRu [80]
So the so the product of two consecutive numbers is 4160 or
x(x+1)=4160
distribute
x^2+x=4160
subtract 4160 from both sides
x^2+x-4160=0
find the factor (if you want to know how, just ask in the comments)
(x-64)(x+65)=0
so the answer is x could be 64 or -65
so the number that work are 64,65 and -65,-64
