Let the width be w, then the length is 2w - 3
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
48 = 2(2w - 3 + w) = 2(3w - 3)
3w - 3 = 48/2 = 24
3w = 24 + 3 = 27
w = 27/3 = 9 cm

Therefore, width is 9 cm and the length is 2(9) - 3 = 18 - 3 = 15 cm

The equation for the length is L=2W - 3. The perimeter is 48 cm and the equation for finding the perimeter is P = 2W + 2L. Substitute the formula of L into the formula for perimeter and solve algebraically:

P = 2W +2L \\ 48= 2W + 2(2W-3) \\ 48=2W + 4W - 6 \\ 48 = 6W - 6 \\ 48+6 = 6W \\ 54=6W \\ W=9 \\ L=2(9)-3 = 15

The correct answer is A) length = 15cm; width = 9cm

Sladkaya [172]

The average price paid by him for the shares after 3 months is ksh. 163.33

<h3>Average</h3>

  • Total value of shares bought = ksh.20,000

  • Amount of shares bought in the first three months = ksh.120, ksh.160 and ksh.210

Average price paid for the shares after 3 months

= (120 + 160 + 210) / 3

= 490 / 3

= 163.333333333333

A man drove his car a distance of 366 miles in 6 hours. If continuing at this rate is possible, he will travel ______ miles in 7
Anettt [7]
ANSWER: 427 miles
Okay so you have to divide 366 by 6 to see how many miles he drives each hour.
explanation:
366 / 6 = 61
He drove 61 miles each hour.
now they want to know how many miles he drove when he reached 7 hours.
so add 366 and another 61 miles for another hour.
366 + 61 = 427
He will travel 427 miles in 7 hours.
