P = 2(L + W)
P = 124
L = 3W + 6

124 = 2(3W + 6 + W)
124 = 2(4W + 6)
124 = 8W + 12
124 - 12 = 8W
112 = 8W
112/8 = W
14 = W <=== width is 14 cm

L = 3W + 6
L = 3(14) + 6
L = 42 + 6
L = 48 <=== length is 48 cm

Our first task in this problem is to set up variables that represent length and width.

<u>Let's first identify our values:</u>

X → Width

3x + 6 → Length

Before moving on, it's always a great idea to draw a picture of the rectangle to visualize what's going on. I will provide a picture.

Now, we can use the first sentence of the problem to set up our equation.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the figure. If our perimeter is 124 cm, we can set up an equation to represent this.

<h3>x + x + 3x + 6 + 3x + 6 = 124cm.</h3><h3 /><h3>If we simplify on the left side we will get </h3>

<h3>8x + 12 = 124</h3><h3>       -12    -12</h3><h3 /><h2>8x = 112</h2><h2>÷8    ÷8</h2><h2 /><h2>X = 14</h2><h2 /><h2>Width = 11 cm</h2><h2>Length = 48 cm</h2>

Light travels 1.08 x 10 9 kilometers in one hour. How far does it travel in 2 hours?
ozzi

The distance traveled by the light in 2 hours is 2.16×10⁹ km.

<h3 /><h3>Distance:</h3>

This is the total length of space between two points covered by an object. Distance has no regard for direction as it is termed a scalar quantity. The S.I unit of distance is meter(m).

To calculate the distance traveled by the light in 2 hours, first, we need to calculate the speed of the light.

Formula:

  • S = d/t................. equation 1

Where:

  • S = speed
  • d = distance travelled
  • t = time

From the question,

Given:

  • d = 1.08×10⁹ km
  • t = 1 hour

Therefore,

  • s = 1.08×10⁹/1
  • s = 1.08×10⁹ km/h

The distance traveled in 2 hours is

  • d = 2×1.08×10⁹
  • d = 2.16×10⁹ km

Hence, the distance traveled by the light in 2 hours is 2.16×10⁹ km

4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11 Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.
vagabundo [1.1K]
First, multiply 4*2x-4*-5= 8x-20.
Second, add 15 to 8x-20
Third, that would equal 8x-20+15=11 
Fourth, 15+-20= -5 
Fifth, 8x-5=11
Sixth, add +5 to -5 and +5 to 11= 8x=16 
Last, do 8x/8x and 16/8x 
The answer is x=2
