Perimeter: P=24 ft
Lenght: L
Width: W

The length is 2 ft longer than the width:
(1) L= W+2 ft

Perimeter: P=2(W+L)
P=24 ft
2(W+L)=24 ft
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2(W+L)/2 =(24 ft)/2
(2) W+L=12 ft

We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) L=W+2
(2) W+L=12

Using the method of substitution: Replacing L by W+2 in the second equation:
(2) W+L=12
W+(W+2)=12
W+W+2=12
2W+2=12

Solving foe W
2W+2-2=12-2
2W=10
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2W/2=10/2
W=5

Replacing W by 5 in the first equation:
(1) L=W+2
L=5+2
L=7

Answers:
What is the width?  5 ft
What is the length? 7 ft

prisoha [69]

After value putting, if the number of guests represented by the variable (g) is 17 then the cost pf the food is $220.

In the given question we have to evaluate the expression if the number of guests represented by the variable (g) is 17.

An expression to represent the cost of the food for a catered lunch is 50+10g.

The fee for the catering is $50 and then there is a $10 charge for each lunch box.

Since g is representing the number of guests.

The the value of g is given 17.

Now putting the value of g in the given expression.

=50+10g

=50+10*17

=50+170

=220

Hence, if the number of guests represented by the variable (g) is 17 then the cost pf the food is $220.

If possible, carry some factor outside the root sign: Radical please help
krek1111 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the square roots, write the radicand as a multiple of a perfect square.  For example:

√27 = √(9 × 3) = 3√3

√72 = √(36 × 2) = 6√2

√¾ = √(¼ × 3) = ½√3

For the cube roots, write the radicand as a multiple of a perfect cube.  For example:

∛16 = ∛(8 × 2) = 2∛2

∛(27/8) = 3/2

A bag contains eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles. Two marbles are chosen from
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The expression would give the probability that one marble is yellow and the other marble is red is,

P(Y\cdot R\ And\ R\cdot Y)=P(Y)P(R)+P(R)P(Y)

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag contains eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles. So in total there are 25 marbles.

Hence,

Probability of getting yellow ball = P(Y)=\dfrac{8}{25}

Probability of getting red ball = P(R)=\dfrac{5}{25}

Probability that one marble is yellow and the other marble is red is,

P(Y\cdot R\ And\ R\cdot Y)=P(Y)P(R)+P(R)P(Y)=\dfrac{8}{25}\cdot \dfrac{5}{25}+\dfrac{5}{25}\cdot \dfrac{8}{25}=0.128
