Write an equation: The sides of a rectangle are x and ( x - 4 ). The perimeter is 87

Mathematics

The perimeter of a rectangle, is all of the sides added up.

In a rectangle, there are two widths (right and left), and two lengths (up and down)

So:

Perimeter = 2 × width + 2 × length.

To get the equation we just substitute in the values that we are given:

length = (x)

width = (x - 4)

perimeter = 87

So just put these values into:  perimeter = 2 × width + 2 × length:

87  =  2(x) + 2(x - 4)

_____________________________

Answer:

The equation is:       87 = 2(x) + 2(x - 4)

<em>(note: this can be simplified down like so:</em>

<em>87 = 2x + 2x - 8</em>

<em>87 = 4x - 8</em>

<em>95 = 4x</em>

23.75 = x

According to the rational root theorem, which is a factor of the polynomial f(x)=3x^3-5x^2-12x+20?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

(x-2), (x+2), (3x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 3: ±1, ±3

Factors of 20: ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20

Possible factors of the polynomial: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20, .... (there's a lot more but you probably do not need to list them all)

Pick a number to divide the polynomial by (I picked 2)

(3x³-5x²-12x+20)÷(x-2) = 3x²+x-10

So (x-2) is a factor of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

Factor 3x²+x-10 = (3x-5)(x-2) these are the other factors of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

Jones can paint a car in 8 hours. Smith can paint the same car in 6 hours. They start to paint the car together. After 2 hours,
Volgvan
Jones takes 8 hours , therefore in one hour he paints a fraction of 1/8
smith takes 6 hours, thus in one hour he paints a fraction of 1/6
When working together they paint a fraction of 7/24 in an hour.
After 2 hours they will have painted a fraction of (7/24) ×2 = 7/12
The remainder will be 5/12 which will be undertake by smith alone.
Smith will therefore take 5/12 ×6/1 = 2.5 hour or 2 hours 30 minutes
