The length of a table is 8 times longer then it’s width. If the perimeter is 72, how wide is the table?

Mathematics

Andrews [41]3 years ago

Answer:

4 units wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the table be 'w'

Given:

Perimeter of the table is, P=72

The perimeter of the rectangular table is given as the sum of all the sides of the rectangle. The sides include two lengths and two widths.

Length of the table is 8 times longer than its width. Therefore,

Length,L=8w

Now, perimeter is given as:

P=2L +2w\\P=2(8w)+2w\\P=16w+2w\\P=18w\\w=\frac{P}{18}

Now, plug in 72 for 'P' and solve for 'w'. This gives,

w=\frac{P}{18}\\\\w=\frac{72}{18}\\\\w=4

So, the table is 4 units wide.

20/28 = 3x / (4x + 2)

84x = 20(4x + 2)
84x - 80x =  40
4x = 40 
x = 10

so the 2  lines are equal to  30 and  42

The number of views on a viral video can be modeled by the function S(t)=9600(3)^t+2. Write an equivalent function of the form S
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The equivalent expression would be;

S(t) = 86,400•3^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a transformation

From what we have;

S(t) = 9,600(3)^(t + 2)

From indices, we know that;

x^(a + b) = x^a•x^b

Thus, we have it that;

S(t) = 9600•3^t•3^2

S(t) = (9 * 9600) * 3^t

S(t) = 86,400•3^t

Iron has a density of 7.9 g/cm³. Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm³.
alexandr402 [8]
Density = m/v
3.86kg=3860g
d= 3860/200
= 19.3g/cm^3
therefore it is gold.
