Hi there!

To solve this problem, let's make two equations:

Let x be the rectangle's length.
Let y be the rectangle's width.

x = y + 13
2x + 2y = 98

Now, since x equals y + 13, we can substitute the value of x into the equation 2x + 2y = 98:

2x + 2y = 98
2(y + 13) + 2y = 98
2y + 26 + 2y = 98
4y = 98 - 26
4y = 72
y = 18

Now, let's plug the value of y into the equation to find x:

x = y + 13
x = 18 + 13
x = 31

So, the length is 31 and the width is 18.

Hope this helps!

Im so confused! Can someone help me? I need to find the value of the variable and the measures of the angles.....
nikdorinn [45]
Hello there! I can help you! So what we are looking for is the value of x. To find the value of x, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:

4x + 28 = 180

This is because the sum of the angles for a triangle is 180°. We combine the like terms to get 4x and subtract 6 from 34 to get 28. First off, let's subtract 28 from both sides. 28 - 28 cancel out. 180 - 28 is 152. That simplifies into 4x = 152. Now, divide each side by 4 to isolate the x. 4x/4 cancels out. 152/4 is 38. There's a possible value of x. Let's plug the value in and see if it works. 38 * 2 is 76. 76 - 6 is 70. 38 + 34 is 72. 70 + 72 is 142 and 142 + 38 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 38. Here are the answers for the angle measurements:

(x + 34) = 72°
(2x - 6) = 70°
x° = 38°

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the fractional expression of weight in decimal form:

5/ 6 ounce of bassil is converted into decimal :

5 / 6 = 0.8333

Hence, for a fraction of 5 /6, we obtain;

5/6 = 0.8333

To the nearest tenth :
