X = Width
2X = Length
2X + 2(2X) = 26 (Perimeter)
6X = 26
X = 4.33333...

Note, the .3333 is repeating, and should be written as .33 with a line over it (can't do it on a keyboard).... It could also be written as 1/3

Need help with this....

Answer:

$\boxed{\dfrac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=-3a^2-3ah-h^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=-x^3+2\\\\\dfrac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}\\\\f(a+h)\to\text{substitute x = a + h}\\f(a)\to\text{substitute x = a}\\\\\dfrac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=\dfrac{-(a+h)^3+2-(-a^3+2)}{h}\\\\\text{use}\ (x+y)^3=x^3+3x^2y+3xy^2+y^3\\\\=\dfrac{-(a^3+3a^2h+3ah^2+h^3)+2-(-a^3)-2}{h}\\\\=\dfrac{-a^3-3a^2h-3ah^2-h^3+2+a^3-2}{h}\\\\\text{combine like terms}$

$=\dfrac{(-a^3+a^3)-3a^2h-3ah^2-h^3+(2-2)}{h}\\\\=\dfrac{-3a^2h-3ah^2-h^3}{h}\\\\=\dfrac{h(-3a^2-3ah-h^2)}{h}\\\\=-3a^2-3ah-h^2$

Answer:

15 and 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the time taken by the first chap, and y the second.

$\left \{ {{x+y = 20 \atop {55x+60y=1125}} \right.$

Let's divide by 5 and play with the LHS of the first equation a bit:

$11x+ 11y +y = 225\\11(x+y)+y= 225$ we know how much x+y is ( first equation!) let's solve.

$11(20) +y = 225 \rightarrow y=5$ At this point it's easy to check that $x=15$

Find four consecutive even integers so that the sum of the first three is 2 more than twice the fourth

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The numbers are : -20,-18,-16,-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1st even integer be $=x$

So, next consecutive even integer would be $=x+2$

3rd consecutive even integer would be $=x+4$

4th consecutive even integer would be $=x+6$

Sum of first three integers would be $=x+x+2+x+4=3x+6$

It says sum of the first three is 2 more than twice the fourth,

So we have

$3x+6=2+4(x+6)$

using distribution to simplify.

$3x+6=2+(4\times x)+(4\times6)$

$3x+6=2+4x+24$

$3x+6=4x+26$

Subtracting $4x$ from both sides

$3x+6-4x=4x+26-4x$

$-x+6=26$

Subtracting 6 from both sides

$-x+6-6=26-6$

$-x=20$

∴ $x=-20$

So first integer =-20

2nd integer $=-20+2=-18$

3rd integer $=-18+2=-16$

4th integer $=-16+2=-14$

So, the numbers are : -20,-18,-16,-14
