Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x :

--------------------------------------------

Let the width be x.

Width = x

Length = 2x - 3

--------------------------------------------

Perimeter Formula :

--------------------------------------------

Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

--------------------------------------------

FInd Width :

--------------------------------------------

42 = 2 (x + 2x - 3)

42 = 2(3x - 3)

42 = 6x - 6

48 = 6x

6x = 48

x = 8 feet

--------------------------------------------

Find Length :

--------------------------------------------

Length = 2x - 3 = 2(8) - 3 = 13 feet

--------------------------------------------

Answer: The length is 13 feet.

I'm not sure what you are looking for but I'll answer this question based on what I think is needed.

Given:
Day 1: 130
Day 2: 130 x 4 = 520
Day 3: 520 x 4 = 2,080

The exponential equation of this problem is:
V(n) = 130(4)^n

Where n is the number of days since the video was first shown.

Let us assume that 10 days have past. Total view would be:

V(n) = 130(4)^n

V(10) = 130(4)^10
V(10) = 130(1,048,576)
V(10) = 136,314,880

After 10 days, there are more than 136 Million views of the viral video.

If you would like to simplify <span>4 + (-3) - 2 * (-6), you can do this using the following steps:

</span><span>4 + (-3) - 2 * (-6) = 4 - 3 + 2 * 6 = 1 + 12 = 13
</span>
The correct result would be 13.

n200080 [17]

Part A:

Let the width of the rectangle be = x inches

As given, the length of a rectangle is 3 more inches than the width so let the length of the rectangle be = x+3 inches

Perimeter is given as = 54 inches

Perimeter = $2(l+b)$
