So to solve, make an equation (x being the shorter side)
2x+2(7+x)=42
So just solve from here.
2x + 14 + 2x =42
4x=28
x=7 
So the shorter side is 7, and the longer side is 14.

To find perimeter, we use this equation.
2L+2W=42
Let's say the longer side is the length.
L=W+7
Let's plug that in for L.
2(w+7)+2w=42
2w+14+2w=42
Add like terms.
4w+14=42
Subtract 14 from both sides.
4w=28
Divide.
28÷4=7=W
The shorter side is 7, which means the longer side is 14 cm.

Pavel [41]
For this case we have the following equations:
 y = 60x + 40
 y = 50x + 80
 Equaling both equations we have:
 60x + 40 = 50x + 80
 From here, we clear the value of x:
 60x - 50x = 80 - 40
 10x = 40
 x = 40/10
 x = 4 weeks
 Substituting x = 4 in any of the equations we have:
 y = 60 (4) + 40
 y = 240 + 40
 y = 280 $
 Answer:
 
$ 280 4 weeks

What is the determinant of m= {5 8 -5 4} ? 20 40 60 80
likoan [24]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the matrix;

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&8\\-5&4\end{array}\right]

For a 2-by-2 matrix, the determinant is calculated as;

( product of elements in the leading diagonal) - (product of elements in the other diagonal)

determinant = ( 5*4) - (8*-5)

                     = 20 - (-40) = 60

Directions: Calculate the percent increase or decrease between the starting and ending
Sveta_85 [38]

I'll do the first two to get you started

===============================================

Problem 1

A = 3 = starting value

B = 10 = ending value

C = percent change

C = [ (B - A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (10-3)/3 ] * 100%

C = (7/3) * 100%

C = 2.3333333 * 100%

C = 233.33333%

C = 233.3%

The positive C value means we have a percent increase. If C was negative, then we'd have a percent decrease.

<h3>Answer: 233.3% increase</h3>

===============================================

Problem 2

A = 9 = start value

B = 20 = end value

C = percent change

C = [ (B - A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (20-9)/9 ] * 100%

C = (11/9)*100%

C = 1.2222222222*100%

C = 122.22222222%

C = 122.2%

<h3>Answer: 122.2% increase</h3>
