4x+8=20

First subtract 8 from both sides

4x+8=20(8-8 and 20-8)

4x=12

Now divide 4 from both sides

4x=12(4x/4 and 12/4)

x=3

So x= 3

Now time to check the equation.

4(3)+8=

Multiply 4 and 3

12+8=20

now add 12 and 8

So the answer is C. 3

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. The length of a rectangle is 3 times its width. Which expression re

omeli [17]

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>

In the △ABC, the height AN = 24 in, BN = 18 in, AC = 40 in. Find AB and BC. Consider all possible cases. Case 1 : N∈BC, AB = __,

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Case 1:

$AB = 30$

$BC = 50$

Case 2:

$AB = 15.9$

$BC = 36.7$

Case 3: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration of each case

Required

Find AB and BC

Case 1:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

$AB^2 = AN^2 + BN^2$

This gives:

$AB^2 = 24^2 + 18^2$

$AB^2 = 576 + 324$

$AB^2 = 900$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{900$

$AB = 30$

To calculate BC, we consider ANC, where:

$AC^2 = AN^2 + NC^2$

$40^2 = 24^2 + NC^2$

$1600 = 576 + NC^2$

Collect like terms

$NC^2 = 1600 - 576$

$NC^2 = 1024$

Take square roots

$NC = \sqrt{1024$

$NC = 32$

So:

$BC = NC + BN$

$BC = 32 + 18$

$BC = 50$

Case 2:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

$AN^2 = AB^2 + BN^2$

This gives:

$24^2 = AB^2 + 18^2$

$576 = AB^2 + 324$

Collect like terms

$AB^2 = 576 - 324$

$AB^2 = 252$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{252$

$AB = 15.9$

To calculate BC, we consider ABC, where:

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

$40^2 = 252 + BC^2$

$1600 = 252 + BC^2$

Collect like terms

$BC^2 = 1600 - 252$

$BC^2 = 1348$

Take square roots

$BC = \sqrt{1348$

$BC = 36.7$

Case 3:

This is not possible because in ANC

The hypotenuse AN (24) is less than AC (40)
