Answer:

A) \frac{8}{3} x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x units.

\therefore \: length \: of \: rectangle =  \frac{1}{3} x - 3 \\ Perimeter \: of \: rectangle  = 2(l + w) \\  = 2  \bigg( \frac{1}{3} x - 3 + x \bigg)\\  = 2  \bigg( x + \frac{1}{3} x - 3 \bigg)\\  = 2  \bigg(  \frac{3x + x}{3}  - 3 \bigg)\\  = 2  \bigg(  \frac{4x}{3}  - 3 \bigg) \\  = 2  \bigg(  \frac{4x}{3}  - 3 \bigg) \\  =   \frac{2 \times 4x}{3}  -2 \times  3  \\  \purple{ \bold{{Perimeter \: of \: rectangle   =  \frac{8}{3} x - 6}}}

jada is using a computer’s random number generator to produce 6 random whole numbers between 1 and 100 so she can use a random s
nikdorinn [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

The random numbers are selected randomly. Just because they happen to be 6 numbers in a row does not mean that they were not. If she is confident in the random number generator, which can be assumed, then the random numbers were still randomly selected and can be used. To regenerate would be a mistake because Jada is then picking and choosing which random numbers are chosen, defeating the purpose of a random number generator

faust18 [17]

We can write an equation like; 5 + 3x = 35

Steps to solve:

5 - 5 + 3x = 35 - 5

3x = 30

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

There were 10 cards per pack.

Best of Luck!

Y is the midpoint of segment XZ. The coordinates of X are (2, 4) and of Y are (-1, 1). Find the coordinates of Z. ...?
Elenna [48]
Given x(x1,y1)=(2,4)
          z(x2,y2)=(x2,y2)
         midpoint (x,y)=(-1,1)
2+x2/2=-1;4+y2/2=1
2+x2=-2;4+y2=2
x2=-4;y2=-2
z(x2,y2)=(-4,-2)

Write the equation that satisfies the given conditions. The line passes through the two points (3, -1) and (-2, 5). Choices A. 5
rodikova [14]
(3,-1)(-2,5)
slope = (5 - (-1) / (-2 - 3) = -6/5

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -6/5
(3,-1)...x = 3 and y = -1
sub and find b, the y int
-1 = -6/5(3) + b
-1 = -18/5 + b
-1 + 18/5 = b
-5/5 + 18/5 = b
13/5 = b

so ur equation is : y = -6/5x + 13/5
