<h3><u>The length is equal to 13.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 8.</u></h3>

l = 2w - 3

2l + 2w = 42

Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.

2(2w - 3) + 2w = 42

Distributive property.

4w - 6 + 2w = 42

Combine like terms.

6w - 6 = 42

Add 6 to both sides.

6w = 48

Divide both sides by 6.

w = 8

Now that we have a value for w, we can solve for the exact value of l.

l = 2(8) - 3

l = 16 - 3

l = 13

Help me please. Solve this equation with the steps. -5•10^x=-31. Thank you
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

x=0.79

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-5(10^{x})=-31

step 1

Divide by -5 both sides

10^{x}=31/5

step 2

Apply log both sides

log[10^{x}]=log[31/5]

step 3

Applying Property of logarithms

Remember that

log(x^{y})=ylog(x)

so

xlog[10]=log[31/5]

Remember that

log(10)=1

substitute

x=log[31/5]

x=log(6.2)

x=0.79
