Final result is 
The perimeter is equal to 2(width) + 2(length). let's call the width w and the length L.
so 32 = 2w + 2L
the width is given as 2 meters less than the length, so w = L - 2
32 = 2(L - 2) + 2L
32 = 2L - 4 + 2L
32 = 4L - 4
36 = 4L
9 = L
so our length is 9 meters.
w = L - 2
w = 9 - 2
w = 7
so our width is 7 meters.
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, we use the formula rise over run (y2-y1 over x2-x1)
So first, our y's: 7-5=2
And our x's: 12-4=8
2/8 simplifies to 1/4
Answer:
16 ride tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original entry fee is $4 so you can subtract that from 12. Now you have $8. So you would double 8 since $0.50 is half of $1. 8x2 is 16.
Answer:
<em>The washing machine cost $600 before tax</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages
</u>
The washing machine cost $651 including a tax of 8.5%.
If x was the cost of the washing machine before tax, then the tax was:
x*8.5/100 = 0.085x
It was added to the original price:
x + 0.085x = 1.085x
That is the final price, thus
1.085x=$651
Solving:
x = $651/1.085
x = $600
The washing machine cost $600 before tax
