Answer:

Length = 109 inches and width = 64 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Let the width of the rectangle be 'w' inches

Length of the rectangle would be = 45+w inches

2((45+w)+w) = 346

2(45+2w) = 346

90 + 4w = 346

4w = 346 - 90

4w = 256

w = $\frac{256}{4}$

w = 64 inches

Length = 45 + 64 = 109 inches

Length = 109 inches and width = 64 inches

Solution:

Perimeter of Rectangle = 346

Let Required length of breadth be x

Then, Length of Rectangle = 45 + x

Now, We have ;

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(l+b)
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 ( 45 + x + x
346 = 2 ( 45 + 2x )
346 = 90 + 4x
346 - 90 = 4x
256 = 4x
x = 256 ÷ 4
x = 64 inches

So, Length of Rectangle = x + 46

Length of Rectangle = 64 + 46

Length of Rectangle = 110 inches

Now, Breadth of Rectangle = 64 inches.

Solve each equation. Record your work and check your solution. a. 5(x-2)+(-9)= -7(1-x)

Daniel [21]

The solution for equation is x = -6

Solution:

Given equation is:

$5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)$

We have to solve the equation

According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve or simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right

Therefore, solve for brackets in given equation

$5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)\\\\5x - 10 -9 = -7 + 7x$

Solve for terms in left hand side of equation

$5x - 19 = -7+7x$

Move the variables to one side and constants to other side

$7x -5x = -19+7\\\\2x = -12\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x = -6$

Thus the solution for equation is x = -6
