<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!

If the gradient of a line joining the points (-2, 6) and (5, b) is 14.<br> Find the value of b.
babunello [35]

Answer:

b = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is expressed as;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

14 = b - 6/5-(-2)

14 = b - 6/5+2

14 = b-6/7

Cross multiply

b-6 = 14 * 7

b - 6 = 98

b  = 98 + 6

b = 104
