The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the following formula:     P = 2W + 2L

To solve this formula for W, the goal is to isolate this variable to one side of the equation such that the width of the rectangle (W) can be solved when given its perimeter (P) and length (L).

     P = 2W + 2L

          subtract 2L from both sides of the equation

     P - 2L = 2W + 2L - 2L

     P - 2L = 2W

           divide both sides of the equation by 2

     (P - 2L)/2 = (2W)/2

     (P - 2L)/2 = (2/2)W

     (P - 2L)/2 = (1)W

     (P - 2L)/2 = W

Thus, given that the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is defined by    P = 2W + 2L ,

   then its width (W) is given by    <span>W = (P - 2L)/2</span>

Eugenia walked all the way to school at 3 mph then realized she forgot her math book (how could she?!), so she ran back at 7 mph
kondor19780726 [428]

Let us say distance between Eugenia's home and school is x miles.

Speed of Eugenia when she walked from home to school = 3 mph

Speed of Eugenia when she walked from school to home = 7 mph

Total time taken = 45 minutes or 0.75 hours

We know that the speed distance formula is given by:

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Time taken by Eugenia when she walked from home to school = x/3 hours

Time taken by Eugenia when she walked from school to home = x/7 hours

Total time taken = x/3+x/7

So forming an equation we have,

\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{7}=0.75

Taking lcd of 7 and 3 as 21,

\frac{7x}{21}+\frac{3x}{21}=0.75

\frac{10x}{21}=0.75

10x=15.75

Dividing both sides by 10 , we have

x= 1.575

Answer: So we can say that the distance between Eugenia's house and school is 1.575 miles.

Determine whether the points (–3,–2) and (3,2) are in the solution set of the system of inequalities below. y ≤ ½x + 2 y &lt; –2
lana [24]

Given:

The system of inequalities:

y\leq \dfrac{1}{2}x+2

y

To find:

Whether the points (–3,–2) and (3,2) are in the solution set of the given system of inequalities.

Solution:

A point is in the solution set of the given system of inequalities if it satisfies both inequalities.

Check for the point (-3,-2).

-2\leq \dfrac{1}{2}(-3)+2

-2\leq -1.5+2

-2\leq 0.5

This statement is true.

-2

-2

-2

This statement is also true.

Since the point (-3,-2) satisfies both inequalities, therefore (-3,-2) is in the solution set of the given system of inequalities.

Now, check for the point (3,2).

2

2

2

This statement is false because 2>-9.

Since the point (3,2) does not satisfy the second inequality, therefore (3,2) is not in the solution set of the given system of inequalities.
