X = 8

18-(2x8) = 18 - 16 = 2

8+9=17

Perimeter = 2x width + 2x length

Length = 2x2 = 4

Width = 2x17 =34 34 + 4 = 38

Let's turn this into an equation. Since we use 2L+2W=P to find the perimeter, we need to use that equation but fill in the information we know.

2(18-2x)+2(x+9)=38; let's distribute the parenthesis. 36-4x+2x+18=38; let's add like terms. 54-2x=38; let's subtract 54 from both sides. -2x=-16; divide both sides by -2. x=8 Let's check to make sure 8 is the correct answer. We need plug it in to both sides.

x+9=8+9=17; that's the length of one side, let's find the other. 18-2(x)=18-2(8)=18-16=2; that's the length of the other side.

17+17+2+2=34+4=38

So, x=8 ft.

Jimmys garden has a length of 2b

GrogVix [38]

Answer: 18b + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Length: 2b + 4

Width: 7b + 2

I assumed the garden is a rectangle shape since the length and width are different.

Perimeter = 2( L + w)

Then we just plug the values in.

2 (2b + 4 + 7b + 2)

2 (9b + 6) = 18b + 12

So, the equation for the perimeter of Jimmy's garden will be 18b + 2.

Solve the following equation, and check your solution. Be sure to show all work.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

1. Subtract 24 from both sides

-3x = -27 - 24

Simplify -27 - 24 to -51

-3x = -51

Divide both sides by -3

x = -51/-3

Two negatives make a positive

x = 51/3

Simplify 51/3 to 17

x = 17

2. Regroup terms

n/5 - 17 = 33

Add 17 to both sides

n/5 = 33 + 17

Simplify 33 + 17 to 50

n/5 = 50

Multiply both sides by 5

n = 50 * 5

Simplify 50 * 5 to 250

n = 250

Two students went to the schools clinic with fevers Isabell had a temperature of 103.78 and Bryan had a temperature that was 2.3

jeyben [28]

Answer:

1) The temperature of Bryan is 101.39°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the Temperature of Isabell is given = 103.78 degrees

Now, the temperature of Bryan = Iaabell's Tempt. - 2.36

So, temperature of Bryan = (103.78 - 2.36) degrees

= 101.4 degree

Hence, the temperature of Bryan = 101.4 degree

So, the most appropriate option is 101.39°

Explain 15 is not a prime factor

MissTica

15 is not a prime factor as it is divided by 1,3,5 and 15.

Additional information:

Prime numbers are those numbers which can only be divided by itself .for instance:1,2,3,5,7 ,11,13 etc.

Composite number s are those numbers which can be also divided by other numbers,For instance: 4,6,8,10 etc

Hope it helps....
