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

Factor the expression completely. (If the expression is not factorable using integers, enter PRIME.)

Archy [21]

First you have to put like terms together:
bf+af+be+ae
Now you factor the first two terms and then the two last terms:
f(b+a)+e(b+a)
Now you factor even further. By putting what is in parentheses by what is outside the parentheses:
(b+a)(f+e)
What you got is correct as mine is too. I hope this formula helps for future problems:
ax+bx+ac+bc=x(a+b)+c(a+b)
=(a+b)(x+c)

Factor 3/4 out of 3/4z + 6

Alenkasestr [34]

ANSWER

$\frac{3}{4} z + 6 = \frac{3}{4} (z + 8 )$

EXPLANATION

We want to factor
$\frac{3}{4}$
out of

$\frac{3}{4} z + 6$

The first term is already having a factor of
$\frac{3}{4}$
The constant term which is the second term is not having a factor of
$\frac{3}{4}$
so we need to use a trick of multiplying and dividing by the same factor to obtain,

$\frac{3}{4} z + 6 = \frac{3}{4} z + \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{6}{ \frac{3}{4} }$

We can now factor
$\frac{3}{4}$
out of the right hand side to obtain,

$\frac{3}{4} z + 6 = \frac{3}{4} (z + \frac{6}{ \frac{3}{4} } )$
Let us rewrite the right most fraction using the normal division symbol.

$\frac{3}{4} z + 6 = \frac{3}{4} (z + 6 \div \frac{3}{4} )$

We simplify to obtain,

$\frac{3}{4} z + 6 = \frac{3}{4} (z + 6 \times \frac{4}{3} )$

This further gives us,

$\frac{3}{4} z + 6 = \frac{3}{4} (z + 2 \times 4 )$

$\frac{3}{4} z + 6 = \frac{3}{4} (z + 8 )$
