A rectangle length was 4 feet longer than triple the length of it width

1 answer:

4 0

Length is 48 ft

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the sum of all side’s.
2(lengths)+2(widths)= perimeter
Length=3x+4
Now given the perimeter of 140
3(3x+4)+3(x)=140
9x+12+3x=140
12x+12=140
12x=128
X= 10.7
10.7 is the width

Length=3x+4
Length =3(10.6)+4
Length=31.8+4
Length=35.8
Answer = 35.8
This can only be answered if you were given a perimeter.

Solve 16x+9=9y−2x16x+9=9y−2x for y

denis23 [38]

16x + 9 = 9y-2x Add 2x to both sides
18x + 9 = 9y Divide both sides by 9
2x + 1 = y Switch the sides to make it easier to read
y = 2x + 1

What is the explict rule for the sequence 12,22,32,42

icang [17]

The explicit rule for given sequence is:

$a_n=2+10n$

Further explanation:

We have to determine first of all if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.

If the difference of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is arithmetic sequence
If the ratio of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is geometric sequence

Given sequence is:

12,22,32,42

$a_1=12\\a_2=22\\a_3=32\\.......\\Let\\d=Common\ difference\\d=a_2-a_1=22-12=10\\d=a_3-a_2=32-22=10$
