Answer:

L = 90 inches

W = 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the length of a rectangle L is three times the width

That’s

L = 3w

And perimeter = 240 inches

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(L + W)

L = 3w

We now have two equations

Now substitute 3w for L in The above formula and 240 for P.

We have

240 = 2(3w + w)

Distribute 2 into (3w + w)

240 = 2 x 3w + 2 x w

240 = 6w + 2w

240 = 8w

Divide both sides by 8

240/8 = 8w/8

30 = w

W = 30inches

Now substitute 30 for w into either of the above equations to get L .

Using

L = 3w

L = 3 x 30

L = 90 inches

L = 90 inches and

W = 30 inches

What is the inverse of the function below? f(x) = 5x - 2
kupik [55]

Answer:

B. f -1(x) = x + 2 / 5

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x+2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function we need to interchange x and y an solve for y.

Since f(x)=y, then

f(x)=5x-2

y=5x-2

x=5y-2

Add 2 to both sides

x+2=5y-2+2

x+2=5y

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{x+2}{5}=\frac{5y}{5}

\frac{x+2}{5}=y

y=\frac{x+2}{5}

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x+2}{5}

We can conclude that the correct answer is B. f -1(x) = x + 2 / 5

Explain step by step =) Harry rides his bike 25 3/8 miles. Karen rides her bike 25 2/5 miles. Who rides farther?
Alex
To answer this question we need to use subtraction. 
we need to make the denominators the same. 
In order to make them the same we need to find the least common multiple, of 8 and 5. 
The least common multiple(the smallest shared value of the two numbers) is 40. 

Next we divide our old denominator 5 by 40, which gives us 8, we multiply 8 by the numerator 2, which gives us 16. So now we have 16/20. We have to do the same to the other side. 8÷40 = 5.  5 x 3 = 15. Now we have 15/20.

Now we have a brand new equation, 16/40 - 15/40. The answer is 1/40. 
In a fraction the answer is 1/40, so Karen rides her bike further. 

In decimal form the answer is 0.025. 

I hope this helps!
