Perimeter= 2w+2l
l=w+5

Substitute for l
p= 2w+2(w+5)
p= 2w+2w+10
p= 4w+10
58=4w+10
48=4w
12= w

Plug in the width to find length.
l= 12+5
l=17

Final answer: Length-17 cm, Width-12 cm

Write two equations:
l + w = 58
l + 5 = w
substitute and solve
l + l + 5 = 58
2l = 53
l=26.5
w=31.5
26.5cm x 31.5cm

8(-2x+1)=30-(-4+3x)<br><br> solve for x
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

8 (-2x + 1) = 30 - (-4 + 3x)   Distribute

-16x + 8 = 30 + 4 - 3x  Combine like terms

-16x + 8 = 34 - 3x   Rearrange terms

-13x = 26 Divide by -13 on both sides

x = -2

Which is better to buy 14 rolls of paper towels for $18
Feliz [49]

In order to find out what deal is better:

  • We have to find the unit rate for each deal

  • Total amount of paper towels ÷ The price

So it would be....

  • 18 ÷ 14 = 1.285714
  • 12 ÷ 10 = 1.2

Short Answer:

The better deal is 10 rolls of paper towels for $12.

Long Answer:

I wanted to find out the price per roll of paper towel for each deal so I created a unit rate problem which is the numerator divided by the denominator. From there, I was able to get my answers, compare which one was less than the other, and select the best deal.

Hopefully this helped >-<
