So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps            -5    -5
                               -----------------------
                                        3x   = 24
      Divide both sides by 3 so you get
                                          x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
                 So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21

disa [49]

Answer:

16/3 or 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

150 miles  = 4 hours

Find how long it takes to travel 50 miles(GCF  between 150 and 200)

150/3 = 4/3

50 miles = 1 1/3 hours: multiply by 4 to get 200 miles

50 x 4 = 4/3 x 4/1

200 = 16/3

16/3 hours or 5.3

The length of the rectangular basketball court is 44 feet more than the width. If the perimeter of the basketball court is 288 f
Temka [501]
Let's first say that L=W+44

and then remember that perimeter is P=2L+2W

replace the L with W+44

we then get P=2(W+44)+2W, now I'll solve it

P=2W+88+2W
P=4W+88

substitute 288 for P

288=4W+88
200=4W
50=W

so now we now how wide the court is. add 44 to find the length which gives you L=94

as always plug the numbers back into your perimeter equation to ensure L and W are correct
