We can translate these sentences into equations:

"<span>The perimeter of a rectangle is 62 m"
</span>\sf P=2l+2w<span>
\sf 62=2l+2w

"</span><span>The length is four more than two times the width."
\sf l=2w+4

Now we can plug in what 'l' equals in the 2nd equation into the first equation:

\sf 62=2l+2w

</span>\sf 62=2(2w+4)+2w
<span>
Distribute:

</span>\sf 62=4w+8+2w

Combine like terms:

\sf 62=6w+8

Subtract 8 to both sides:

\sf 54=6w

Divide 6 to both sides:

\sf w=9

So this is our width, we can plug this into any of the two equations to find the length:

\sf l=2w+4

\sf l=2(9)+4

Multiply:

\sf l=18+4

Add:

\boxed{\sf l=22~m}

--------------------------------------------------
Define length and width
--------------------------------------------------
Let x be the width
width = x
Length = 2x + 4

--------------------------------------------------
Formula
--------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)

--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and width
--------------------------------------------------
62 = 2(2x + 4 + x)
62 = 2(3x + 4)            <em> ← combine like terms  </em> 
62 = 6x + 8                 <em>← remove bracket </em>  
62 - 8 = 6x                  <em>← minus 8 on both sides </em>
6x = 54                      <em> ← swap sides  </em>
x = 54 ÷ 6                   <em>← divide by 6 on both sides</em>
<em>x = 9 m</em>

--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
--------------------------------------------------
Width = x = 9 m
Length = 2x + 4 = 2(9) + 4 = 22 m

--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 22m

What is the factored form of this expression?
kirill [66]

Answer:

= (3t+2)(3t-2)(3t-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 27t^3 - 36t^2 - 12t + 16

On factoring:

(27t^3 - 36t^2) - (12t + 16)

= 9t²(3t-4)-4(3t-4)

= (9t²-4)(3t-4)

factoring 9t²-4

9t²-4 = (3t)² - 2²

From different of two square, a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)

Hence (3t)² - 2² = (3t+2)(3t-2)

= (9t²-4)(3t-4)

= (3t+2)(3t-2)(3t-4)

Hence the factored form of the expression is (3t+2)(3t-2)(3t-4)

System with 3 variable. solve pleaseeee<br><br> x+4y-5z=-7<br> 3x+2y+3z=7<br> 2x+y+5z=8
7nadin3 [17]
To solve this we need to form 2 equations with only 2 variables.
x+4y-5z=-7
2x+y+5z=8
3x+5y=1

15x+10y+15z=35
6x+3y+15z=24
9x+7y=11

Now we need to use these to find x and y
9x+15y=3
9x+7y=11
8y=-8
y=-1
Therefore:
x=2
From this we can find that:
2(2)-1+5z=8
Therefore z=1
The answer is x=2, y=-1, z=1
