Answer:

Length = 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given the width and the perimeter of the rectangle and we are required to find out our length. We will use the formula of perimeter in order to find the length.

The formula for perimeter

P=2(l+b)

where

l is length

b is width = 6

P is perimeter = 42

substituting them in formula we get

42=2(l+6)

dividing both sides by 2 we get

21 = l + 6

subtracting 6 from both sides we get

15 = l

Hence length is 15 inches

20k + 5 = 5k + 65 know the answer

Katyanochek1 [597]

Solving for 'k'

20k + 5 = 5k + 65

20k = 5k + 65 -5

20k = 5k + 60

20k - 5k = 60

15k = 60

15k/15 = 60/15

k = 4

What (3×5^2)/(5)^2 equal? Plz answer fast and with work and I will give brainliest

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Indices Law is,

${a}^{m} \div {a}^{n} = {a}^{m - n}$

${a}^{0} = 1$

So the expression is :

$3 \times {5}^{2} \div {5}^{2}$

$= 3 \times {5}^{2 - 2}$

$= 3 \times {5}^{0}$

$= 3 \times 1$

$= 3$

The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than the numerator if both are decreased by 3 the simplified result is 6/7 find original

Hitman42 [59]

<u>Answer:</u>

The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than the numerator. The original fraction is $\frac{27}{31}$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that

Denominator of fraction is 4 more than the numerator.

Let’s say numerator of fraction be represented by variable x.

So denominator of a faction as it is four more that numerator will be x + 4

Also given if both decreased by three than simplified result is $\frac{6}{7}$

$=>\frac{(x-3)}{((x+4)-3)}=\frac{6}{7}$

Solving above equation for x

=> 7(x – 3 ) = 6 ( x + 1 )

=> 7x – 21 = 6x + 6

=> 7x – 6x = 6 + 21

=> x = 27

Numerator of fraction = x = 27

Denominator of fraction = x + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31

$\text {required fraction}=\frac{\text {numerator}}{\text {denominator}}$

$= \frac{27}{31}$

Hence the original fraction is $\frac{27}{31}$
