Length = 2x - 5

Width = x

Perimeter = 146

P = 2L + 2W

146 = 2(2x - 5) + 2x

146 = 4x - 10 + 2x

146 = 6x - 10

146 + 10 = 6x

156 = 6x

156/6 = x

26 = x

Length = 2(26) - 5

Length = 52 - 5

Length = 47 cm

Width = x

Width = 26 cm

Enter an equation of the form y= mx for the line that passes through the

hammer [34]

Answer:

y = 13x

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient = 13

x = 0

y = 0

$\frac{Δy}{Δx}$

so $\frac{y - 0}{x - 0}$ = 13

cross multiply and you get

y = 13x

Which number line represents the solution to the inequality 125x + 200 > 1,200?

Elza [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

25x + 200 > 1,200

Subtract 200 from each side

25x + 200-200 > 1,200-200

25x> 1000

Divide by 25

25x/25 >1000/25

x>40
