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:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: 5/26

Part B: 5/26+ 1/2 which is 18/26 or 9/13

Part C: 5/26 +21/25. 'without replacing' means there is one less option in the bag. So denominator becomes 26-1=25. Numerator is 21 because there are a total of 21 consonants in the alphabet. Since we removed a vowel and not a consonant, it will remain 21.

Victoria spent one-fourth of her birthday money on clothes. She received another $25 a week later. If she has a total of $70 now
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

she had $60 before she went for shopping

Step-by-step explanation:

PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST

Let x represent the amount of money that Victoria had before she went for shopping.

Victoria spent one-fourth or her birthday money on clothes. It means that the amount she spent on shopping is 1/4 × x = x/4. Amount that she was having left would be x - x/4 = 3x/4

She received another 25$ a week later. The amount that she is having at this point will be 3x/4 + 25

If she has a total of 70$ now, it means that

3x/4 + 25 = 70

Multiplying through by 4

3x + 100 = 280

3x ,= 280 - 100 = 180

x = 180/3 = 60
