Answer:
57 cm²
Step-by-step explanation
<em>l = length</em>
<em>w = width</em>
<em>p = perimeter</em>
<em />
<em>(5x - 1) = length</em>
<em>(11 - 2x) = width</em>
<em>44 = perimeter</em>
<em />
<em>Formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:</em>
<em>l + l + w + w</em>
<em>2l + 2w = p</em>
<em />
<em>Substitute the variables for the length and width with the values given to you by the problem, then solve.</em>
<em></em>
<em>2(5x - 1) + 2(11 - 2x) = 44</em>
<em>(10x - 2) + (22 - 4x) = 44 (Distributive property)</em>
6x + 20 = 44
6x = 24
x = 4
<em>Plug x = 4 back into the length and width.</em>
Length = (5x - 1), (5(4) - 1), (19)
Width = (11 - 2x), (11 - 2(4)), (3)
<em>Area for a rectangle: Length × Width = Area.</em>
<em>19 × 3 = 57 cm²</em>
<em>This is all in cm so answer with cm²</em>
Answer:
24/91
Step-by-step explanation:
6 red socks and 8 black = 14 socks
P( red) = red/total = 6/14 = 3/7
Keep the red sock
5 red socks and 8 black = 13 socks
P(black) = black / total = 8/13
P(red, black, keeping the sock) = 3/7 * 8/13 = 24/91
