Answer:

Width = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us pose the width as w, and the length as l. If the length is 2 units greater than the width, consider the following;

l = 2 + w,\\\\w = width,\\l = length

The area of this rectangle can be determined through length * width / l * w, and is given to be 24 square units. We can say l = 2 + w instead, solving for the width ( w );

( 2 + w ) * w = 24,\\2w+w^2=24,\\\left(w-4\right)\left(w+6\right)=0,\\w = 4, w = - 6\\\\Solution - width = 4 units

As the width couldn't be a negative value, we had to take the positive of 4 and - 6, which was 4 units.

What is the value of x in the equation 150/84 = 25/x
Fofino [41]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{150}{84}  =  \frac{25}{x}  \\  \\ 150 \times x = 84 \times 25 \\  \\ x =  \frac{84 \times 25}{150}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{84}{6}  \\  \\ x = 14 \\

The ratio of one lengths of corresponding sides of two similar hexagons is 4:7. Find the ratios of their PERIMETERS.
faust18 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of perimeters is exactly the same as the ratio of side lengths. Multiplying each side by 7/4 multiplies the sum of the sides by 7/4.

The ratio of perimeters is 4 : 7.

Square with sides measuring 12 in. What is the perimeter and area?
diamong [38]
48 is the perimeter, all sides in a square are equal, you take 12 * 4 which gives you 48.

For the area, you take two sides, length and width, and you multiply them, 12 * 12, this gives you 144.

Y = -82 - 3
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: No. The answer to this system is y=−85 and y=5, and if you plot that and (3,4) on a graph (I did it on desmos), you will see that it is one square down from the system, meaning it is not a solution to the system. Hope this helps and have a great day!
