Answer:

  4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the original rectangle is ...

  P = 2(L+W) = 2(4x + x) = 10x

The perimeter of the larger rectangle after we add "a" to each side is ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  = 2((4x+a) +(x+a))

  = 10x +4a = 10x +16

  4a = 16 . . . . . subtract 10x from both sides

  a = 4 . . . . . . . divide by 4

The length added to each side is 4 cm.

A coin sorting machine can sort a certain number of coins in 15 min a second machine can sort the same number of coins in 30 min
padilas [110]

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the variable x for the amount of coins.

The first machine can sort x coins in 15 minutes, so its speed is x/15 coins/minute.

The second machine can sort x coins in 30 minutes, so its speed is x/30 coins/minute.

If we sum the speeds, we have that the speed will be:

speed = (x/15) + (x/30) = (2x + x)/30 = 3x/30 = x/10

The total speed can sort x/10 coins per minute, that is x coins in 10 minutes.
