L = w - 5
2*l + 2*w = 26
2*(w - 5) + 2*w = 26
2w - 10 + 2w = 26
4w = 36
w = 9
l = w - 5
l = 9 - 5
l = 4

Final Answer:
The rectangle is 4cm long and 9cm wide.
Hope I helped :)

The length of a rectangular park is 20 feet longer than the width of the park. If the lenght of the park is 36 feet, what is the
lara [203]

Below is a labeled rectangle:

length = w + 20

we know length is 36 so we plug that in:

36 = w + 20

We need to isolate w and to do that we must subtract 20 from both sides:

(36 - 20) = w + (20 - 20)

16 = w + 0

w = 16

width is 16 feet

Hope this helped!

In 2007, there were 31 laptops
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

l=31+20(y-2007)

where l is the number of laptops, and y is the year.

in 2017: l=231

Step-by-step explanation:

I will define the variable x as the number of years that passed since 2007.

Since the school buys 20 lapts each year, after a number x of years, the school will have

20*x more laptops.

and thus, since the school starts with 31 laptops, the equation to model this situation is

l=31+20*x

where l is the number of laptops.

since x is the number of years that have passed since 2007, it can be represented like this:

x=y-2007

where y can be any year, so the equation to model the situation using the year:

l=31+20(y-2007)

and this way we can find the number of laptos at the end of 2017:

y=2017

and

l=31+20(y-2007)

l=31+20(2017-2007)\\l=31+20(10)\\l=31+200\\l=231

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) There are 850 total teens and 32% like rock.

32% of 850 = 0.32*850 = 272 teens like rock

B) 75% of teens = 150 teens. Make total teens = x. 75%x = 150

0.75x = 150

x = 200 teens like pop

C) well...

There are 50 students who bike to school every day and there are 200 students who walk to school every day. According to this information, the number of students who walk to school is 300% more than those who bike to school.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

y = 3x + 2

y = 6x – 3

y = 2/3x + 6

y = –1/3x – 4

y = 2x + 1

Correct answer:

y = 3x + 2

Explanation:

Convert the equation to slope intercept form to get y = –1/3x + 2.  The old slope is –1/3 and the new slope is 3.  Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

With the new slope, use the slope intercept form and the point to calculate the intercept: y = mx + b or 5 = 3(1) + b, so b = 2

So y = 3x + 2

How do you know what to split 26 into ?
madam [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are factoring the expression

Given

4y² + 26y + 30 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(2y² + 13y + 15) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term.

product = 2 × 15 = 30 and sum = 13

the factors are 10 and 3

Use these factors to split the y- term

2y² + 10y + 3y + 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2y(y + 5) + 3(y + 5) ← factor out (y + 5) from each term

= (y + 5)(2y + 3)

Thus

4y² + 26y + 30

= 2(y + 5)(2y + 3)
