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

Currently, the sum of the ages of Yumi, Rana and Victoria is 42 years. Four years ago, the sum of the ages of Rana and Victoria
Setler [38]
Y + R + V = 42
but 4 YEARS AGO : (R-4) +(V-4) = Y

Replace Y in the 1st equation by:  (R-4) +(V-4)

(R-4) +(V-4) + R + V = 42

2R - 2V - 8 = 42;  2R -2V  = 50, or R+V=25
IF R+V =25 AND Y + R +V = 42, then Y + 25 = 42 and Y =17

What’s measure of angle C?
Oduvanchick [21]
The angle is 60° because
B is a right angle and that adds to 90°, so dividing 90 by 3 would get 30

30 x 2 = 60

and to check the answer

x = 30

A=30
B=90
C=60

this adds to 180 which is correct because the angles in a triangle add to 180° :)

Carlos's restaurant check is for $24.50. If he wants to add a 17% tip, what total amount should he pay?
Licemer1 [7]
First, convert the 17% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 17%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "17%" becomes 17% / 100% = 0.17 in terms of a real mathematical number.
Second, you need to find out what 17% of your $24.50 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.17 by $24.50

0.17 x $24.50=$4.16.
So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $4.16.

This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)

$24.50 + $4.16 = $28.67.
