Answer:
What is n?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the measure of angle be 'x'
Since, the measure of the supplement of an angle is 84° less than the measure of the angle.
Therefore, measure of supplement of x = x - 84°
The measure of two supplementary angles is 180 degrees.
So, the measure of angle =
Its supplement = x - 84° = 132° - 84°
= 48°
So, the measure of supplement of angle is 48 degrees.
A sequence of operations that will get you to the solution is ...
... d. multiply each side by-5, add 25 to each side
_____
That is not the only correct sequence of operations. However the other ones listed here are incorrect ways to get to x = -10.
You can do whatever multiplication and addition you like to each side of the equation, but if those operations are poorly chosen, they will make finding the solution more difficult.
Answer:
The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = length & let W = width.
The perimeter of a rectangle is
P = 2(L + W)
The area of a rectangle is
A = LW
We know the perimeter and the area, so we substitute those values int he equations above and we switch sides in both equations.
Perimeter: 2(L + W) = 38
Divide both sides by 2:
L + W = 19
Area: LW = 48
We have a system of two equations in two unknowns:
L + W = 19
LW = 48
Solve the first equation for L and substitute it into the second equation.
L = 19 - W
(19 - W)W = 48
19W - W^2 - 48 = 0
Multiply both sides by -1, and rearrange the order of the terms.
W^2 - 19W + 48 = 0
(W - 16)(W - 3) = 0
W - 16 = 0 or W - 3 = 0
W = 16 or W = 3
Use W = 3 to find L
L = 19 - W
L = 19 - 3
L = 16
Answer: The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.
