Answer: 7.5"

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take away the extra 5" on the longer side lengths

40-5-5=30

Then divide by 4 to get the width

30/4=7.5

This works because if you took the 7.5" and added back the 5 inches, it makes 12.5. Then add all 4 sides together, you get 40.

7.5+7.5+12.5+12.5=

Answer:

W = 7.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:  P = 2W + 2L.

Here, L = W + 5, so P = 2W + 2L becomes:

P = 2W + 2(W + 5), and this equals 40 in.

Thus we have the equation in W (the desired variable) as follows:

2W + 2(W + 5) = 40 in, or 4W + 10 = 40.

Then 4W = 30, and W = 7.5 in.

Decrease £1280 by 60%
klemol [59]

Hi rainy here !!! so lets see lets set up your problem like this                              

X/1280 = 60%/100 so lets cross multiply

100 times X =100X

60 times 1280 = 76800

100X=76800 now lets divide each side by 100

100 divided by 100 = 0

76800 divided by 100 = 768

X=768 

So now we have to subtract to get the total amount so 1280 minus 768 = 512

512 is your answer :)

Hope I helped if u have any questions on how I did your problem feel free to message me or comment on my page bye !!!

Love ~Rainy~

OLEGan [10]
Number 6 is B because each input or x value has one output or y value
Number 7 is C because that’s not even an equation
Number 8 is D because each input or x value has one output or y value
Number 10 is A because if you graph it all of the points would be on a line increasing proportionally
(Hopefully this made sense I tried my best)
