Example Question: 6x + 4 = 22

The goal in this is to get the variable alone and these are the steps how to. What you have to do is subtract 4 from 4 so that you can get 6x alone. But when you subtract 4 from one side, you have to subtract 4 from the other side too which leaves us with 6x = 18. Now, we have to do the opposite of multiplication which is division. So we are going to do 6x divided by 6 and the two sixes cancel each other out. But remember, if you do something to one side you have to do it to the other as well. So we have to do 18/6 which leaves us with the answer.

x = 3

The length of a rectangle is twice the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 69 units, find the area of the garden.
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

area= 264.5 unit square

Step-by-step explanation:

let the width of the rectangle be x units then the length would be 2x units

perimeter = 2(l+b)= 2(2x+x)=2(3x)=6x

69=6x

x=69/6=11.5units

width is 11.5 units and length is 23 units

area= lxb= 11.5* 23= 264.5 units square

What is 87 24 over 25 as a decimal
erastova [34]
8724/25 = 348.96
 When you say "over" that means that it has to be divided that short subtraction sign that separates the numerator and the denominator and also means divide so I believe that if you divide you can find the decimal.
