w is william, c is charmaine

w = c + 3

3c + 2w = 76

substitute c + 3 for w

3c +2(c + 3) =76

3c + 2c + 6 = 76, combine the c's and subtract 6 from both sides

5c = 70

c = 14

w = c + 3

so w = 14 + 3

w = 17

For each value of w, determine wheather it is a soultion to -5 -6w ≤7
Tems11 [23]
So find the solutions to w we need to get w alone

<_ and >_ would be the bigger and smaller and equal to since I don't know how to make that sign with my keyboard :)

-6w<_12

W>_-2

Meaning that the solutions of the equation would always work as long as it's equal to to bigger than -2 such as 0,1,3,100000 :)

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than its width. the area of the rectangle is 40 square inches. what is the length, in
IceJOKER [234]
Since width is the smaller value, set width=x. That wold mean that length=x+3. Since Area=width*length, 40=x(3+x). Distribute the x to give you 40=3x+x^2. Set the equation equal to 0 giving you x^2+3x-40=0. Factor the equation to give you (x+8)(x-5)=0. Set each factor equal to 0. x+8=0 gives you x=-8 & x=-5 gives you x=5. Since we're working with lengths of objects, it can't be negative. Therefore, your width is 5. To find length, substitute width into the original expression (x+3). Therefore, length is 5+3=8.

What is the solution to this equation? x + (- 14) = 4. (A) x = 10. (B) x = - 10. (C) x = - 18. (D) x = 18
Vika [28.1K]
First, you want to get x by itself on one side. We write the equation as x-14=4. Since 14 is being subtracted from x, we add it to both sides to cancel it out, x-14+14=4+14 or x=18.

Your answer would be D.
