Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{  \sf 240 \:  {inches}^{2} }}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of a rectangle = 20 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle = 64 inches

Area of a rectangle = ?

Let width of a rectangle be ' w ' .

<u>Fi</u><u>rst</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>width</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>rectangle</u>

\boxed{ \sf{perimeter = 2(l + w)}}

plug the values

⇒\sf{64 = 2(20 + w)}

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{64 = 40 + 2w}

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒\sf{40 + 2w = 64}

Move 2w to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{2w = 64 - 40}

Subtract 40 from 64

⇒\sf{2w = 24}

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

⇒\sf{ \frac{2w}{2}  =  \frac{24}{2} }

Calculate

⇒\sf{w = 12 \: inches}

Width of a rectangle ( w ) = 12 inches

<u>Now</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>finding</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>area</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>rectangle</u><u> </u><u>having</u><u> </u><u>length</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>inches</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>width </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>inches</u>

\boxed{ \sf{area \: of \: rectangle = length \:  \times  \: \: width}}

plug the values

⇒\sf{area \: of \: rectangle =20 \times  12 }

Multiply the numbers : 20 and 12

⇒\sf{area \: of \: rectangle = 240 \:  {inches}^{2} }

Hence, Area of a rectangle = 240 inches²

Hope I helped !

Best regards!

X=cost per hamburgurs
y=cost per hot dog

200x+150y=1450
200x+250y=1750

we can multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd

-200x-150y=-1450
<u>200x+250y=1750 +</u>
0x+100y=300

100y=300
divide both sides by 100
y=3

sub back

200x+150y=1450
200x+150(3)=1450
200x+450=1450
minus 450 both sides
200x=1000
divide both sides by 200
x=5


the cost of a hamburgur is $5
the cost of a hot dog is $3

What is the variable x in 40+10x=5x-30
konstantin123 [22]

40 + 10x = 5x - 30

To begin isolating x, subtract 40 from both sides.

40 + 10x - 40 = 5x - 30 - 40

10x = 5x - 70

Subtract 5x from both sides.

10x - 5x= 5x - 70 - 5x

5x = -70

Finally, divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = -70/5

x = -14

Answer:

x = -14
