Answer:
2(x-3)+2x=54
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the side length of the rectangle as x
For the perimeter we must have - as we also have 2 lots of a side that is 3 inches shorter than x.
Answer:
18.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x1= -4
x2 = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the equation equal to zero
x2 − 16 = 0
then
(x + 4)(x − 4) = 0
(x+4)= 0 which is equal to -4
and
(x-4)= 0 equals 4
Answer: the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks is 34 11/12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. Converting 8 7/12 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 103/12 inches. The height is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 17 3/4= 71/4 inches
d = 103/12 inches
n = 3 weeks
the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks, T3. Therefore,
T3 = 71/4 + (3 - 1)103/12
T3 = 71/4 + 2 × 103/12 = 71/4 + 103/6
T3 = 419/12 inches = 34 11/12 inches
