The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and its width, the perimeter is 40 meters and the length is 2 meters more than twice its width. What is the length?

The length of the rectangle is 14 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W), where

  • L is its length
  • W is its width

Assume that the width of the rectangle is x meters

∵ The width of the rectangle = x meters

∵ Its length is 2 meters more  than twice its width

- Multiply x by 2 and then add to the product 2

∴ The length of the rectangle = 2 x + 2 meters

∵ The formula of the perimeter is P = 2(L + W)

- Substitute L by 2 x + 2 and W by x

∴ P = 2(2 x + 2 + x)

- Add like terms in the bracket

∴ P = 2(3 x + 2)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ P = 6 x + 4

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle = 40 meters

- Equate P by 40

∴ 6 x + 4 = 40

- Subtract 4 from both sides

∴ 6 x = 36

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x = 6

∴ The width of the rectangle is 6 meters

∵ The length = 2 x + 2

- Substitute x by 6

∴ The length = 2(6) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 meters

The length of the rectangle is 14 meters

Answer:

<u>Options 1 and 3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We should know that, the system of linear equations can be treated as matrices, i.e: we can modify or make any operations provide that we must apply the same operation for all terms of each equation.

Given:  the solution for the following system is (2,9)

Px + Qy = R  ⇒(1)

Tx + Uy = V  ⇒(2)

We will check which system of equation has the same solution.

<u>System A)</u>  Px + Qy = R

                  (P+T)x + (Q+U)y = R+V  ⇒(3)

So, By summing (1) and (2) we will get the equation (3)

So, system A has the same solution (2,9)

<u>System B)</u> Px + Qy = R

                 (P+2T)x + (Q+2U)y = R-2V  ⇒(4)

By multiplying equation (2) by 2 and add with equation (1), we will get:

 (P+2T)x + (Q+2U)y = R+2V

Which is not the same as equation (4)

So, system B has not the same solution (2,9)

<u>System C)</u> (T-P)x + (U-Q)y = V-R  ⇒(5)

                  Tx + Uy = V  

By multiplying equation (1) by -1 and add with equation (2), we will get the equation (5)

So, system C has the same solution of (2,9)

<u>System D)</u> (T-P)x + (Q+U)y = V-R  ⇒(6)

                  Tx + Uy = V  

We cannot get equation (6) by the same operation over equation (1)

Note the coefficient of x and y⇒ (T-P) and (Q+U)

They must be (T+P) and (Q+U) <u>OR </u>(T-P) and (Q-U)

So, system D has not the same solution of (2,9)

<u>System E)</u> (5T-P)x + (5U-Q)y = V-5R ⇒ (6)

                  Tx + Uy = V  

By subtract equation (1) from 5 times equation (2), we will get:

(5T-P)x + (5U-Q)y = 5V-R

Which is not the same as equation (6)

So, system E has not the same solution (2,9)

As a conclusion, the systems which have the same solution are:

<u>Options 1 and 3</u>

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A) A = 1; B = 0; C = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a quadratic is

Ax^2 +Bx +C=0

We are given

1/4x^2 + 5 = 0

Rewriting

1/4x^2 +0x+ 5 = 0

A = 1/4  B=0 C=5

We can multiply each side by 4

4(1/4x^2 +0x+ 5) = 0*4

x^2 +0x+ 20 = 0

A = 1  B=0 C=20
