Ok let us assume x= the width of the table top
the length is 4 times the width meaning we are multiplying 4 and the width
which is x
length = 4x
your first equation would be the following:
4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is
if you drew a rectangle it would help you understand the above.
this represents the perimeter of the tabletop because we know the width is x. if you drew the rectangle there wouldn't be 1 width. opposite to the width is another line. same with the length. the length is 4x again there are 2 because in a rectangle there are 2 sets of parallel lines. that is why your equation would be 4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is- you could simplify this equation and write:
10x= whatever the perimeter is
x basically means 1x but in math we generally don't write that because we tend to write most things in simplest for.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
x - y + z = 8
2x +3y -z= -2
3x - 2y -9z = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
[1 - 1 1 8]
[2 3 -1 -2]
[3 -2 -9 9]
Answer:
.5 yds per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the change in elevation, divide the yards by the minutes
16 yds/ 32 minutes
1/2 yds per minute
.5 yds per minute
Answer:
x = 5 and y = 3
Step-by-step explanation
y crosses out so you are left with
4x = 20 (divide by 4)
x = 5
plug x into either equation
5 + y = 8 (subtract 5)
y = 3
Oh that's easy it is 106 times 10^6
