Answer:

14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rectangle is 15 cm wide then the total width is 30.

So we can subtract 30 from 70,

=40

If the length is increased by 2 then there is 4 more cm added to the total length.

We can do, 40-4

=38

If 38 is the total length we do 38 ÷ 2

=14

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>The original length was 14 cm.</em>

Answer:

18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation to solve this

Let's start by naming the original length before the increase x.

New length is x+2.

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is 2L+2W=P

Plug known values in

2(x+2)+2(15)=70

Simplify

2x+4+30=70

2x+34=70

2x=36

x=18

The original length is 18cm.

At a certain college, the ratio of men to women is 6 to 5. If there are 1,500 men, how many women are there?
Fed [463]

Let 6x represent the men

5x represents the women

The ratio of men to women is 6 to 5 or 6/5


6x / 5x = 1500/ W  where W is the number of women

6/5 = 1500/W

W =  1250 women

What is the simplified form of
umka21 [38]

<em>Note: Your answer choices remain a little unclear. But, I have solved the concept and solution, so you can easily figure it out.</em>

Answer:

\left(-7x^0+5x^2-x+6\right)-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)=13x^2-2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\left(-7x^0+5x^2-x+6\right)-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)

solving the expression

=-7x^0+5x^2-x+6-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)

apply the rule: a^0=1,\:a\ne \:0

=-7+5x^2-x+6-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)

=-7+5x^2-x+6+8x^2-x-3

simplify

=13x^2-2x-4

Therefore, the simplified form is:

\left(-7x^0+5x^2-x+6\right)-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)=13x^2-2x-4

<em>Note: Your answer choices remain a little unclear. But, I have solved the concept and solution, so you can easily figure it out.</em>
