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

5. For Which value of x is line L parallel to line m?
laiz [17]

Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If line l is parallel to line m

then

130\°+(2x+6)\°=180\° -----> by supplementary angles (consecutive interior angles)

solve for x

136+2x=180

2x=180-136

2x=44

x=22

Please help and thank you :)

Answer:

500 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

1 L = 1,000 mL

   -> We use the formula of L * 1,000 = mL

1,000 mL / 2 = 500 mL

   -> We only have half of the L, so we can divide it by 2 to get the correct number of mL

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
