Answer:
The dimensions of the original rectangle are Length =12cm, Width=8cm
Step-by-step explanation
Let the length of the rectangle be x
Let the width of the rectangle be y
The perimeter of a rectangle is 40cm.
2(x+y)=40
Divide both sides by 2
x+y=20
If the length were doubled(2x) and the width halved(y/2), the perimeter would be increased by 16cm,i.e.(40+16)cm
Therefore:
Divide both sides by 2
From the first equation, x=20-y.
Substitute x=20-y into
3 1/4 = 13/4
so the reciprocal is 4/13
To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you switch the numerator and denominator, for example the reciprocal of 2/5 is 5/2. With our mixed number, we convert to an improper fraction, 17/3Then we find the reciprocal, which is 3/17. I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we want to isolate variable x on the left side of the equation. We can do this by adding 13 to both sides.
x - 13 + 13 = - 4 + 13
x = 9
I believe it's C.
