<span>Let x = the width
:
It says,"The length of a rectangle is 4 less than 3 times the width." write that as:
L = 3x - 4
:
If the perimeter is 40, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
:
We know: 2L + 2W = 40
:
Substitute (3x-4) for L and x for W
2(3x-4) + 2x = 40
:
6x - 8 + 2x = 40; Multiplied what's inside the brackets
:
6x + 2x = 40 + 8; do some basic algebra to find x; (added 8 to both sides)

:
8x = 48
:
x = 48/8
:
x = 6 which is the width
:
It said that L = 3x - 4, therefore:
L = 3(6) - 4
L = 18 - 4
L = 14; is the length
:
Check our solutions in the perimeter:
2(14) + 2(6) =
28 + 12 = 40</span>

Length= 3x-4
width= x
perimeter= 72 feet
2(3x-4)+2x=72
6x-8+2x=72
8x-8=72
8x=80
x=10
The width is 10 and the length is 26.

Hope this helps!

Shaquil needs to borrow $400. The loan company charges him $80 in fees for the loan. Shaquil calculates that the annual percenta
lesya [120]

Answer:

(B)  

Step-by-step explanation:

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT(p) = $400

RATE (r)= 250% = 2.5

INTEREST = $80

t = time (in days) = t/365

By using the formula,

r = \frac{i}{pt}

2.5 = \frac{80*365}{400*t}

t = \frac{364*80}{400*2.5}

t = 29.2

t = 29 days (approx)

Hence option (B) is correct.
