Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's the length to be x,
then the width is 8x - 2.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2*Width + 2*Length
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(8x-2) + 2x = 16x - 4 + 2x = 18x - 4
Ar the same time, Perimeter of the rectangle = 88.
So, we can write
18x - 4 = 88
18x = 84
9x=42
x= 42/9 cm (length) or ≈ 4.67 cm (length)
8x - 2 = 8*42/9 - 2 ≈ 35.33 cm (width)
3/x=36
Multiply both sides by x
3=36x
Then divide both sides by 36
3/36=x
1/12=x
Final answer: 1/12
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 8x+1 = 33 and the 4x together
2. 8x = 32 subtract 1 from each side
3. x = 4 Divide both sides by 8
