let w = width and 3w = length

perimeter is the distance around the outside of the object or P = 2L + 2W

2(3w) + 2w = 24

6w + 2w= 24

8w = 24

w= 3

3w= 9

Width is 3in. and length is 9in.

Teddy has 23 boxes of juice packed and plans to pack 3 additional boxes each hour. Charely has 7 boxes packed and plans to pack

Vadim26 [7]

The equation is already set up for you. All you need to do is solve for x, the number of hours.

23 + 3x = 5x + 7 original equation
23 - 7 = 5x - 3x combine like terms by subtracting 7 and 3x from both sides
16 = 2x simplify
16/2 = x divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
8 = x solve for x
Therefore, the answer is 8 hrs.

i keel asking for the dang answer why wont anyone tell me it a store sells pencils pens and markers that sells two times as many

babunello [35]

Answer:

Pencils = 325 ; Pens = 975 ; Markers = 650

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of Pencils = x

Number of pens = y

Number of markers = z

2 times as many markers as pencils

z = 2x

3 times as many pens as pencils

y = 3x

x + y + z = 1950

Write z and y in terms of x in the equation :

x + 3x + 2x = 1950

6x = 1950

Divide both sides by 6

6x / 6 = 1950 / 6

x = 325

Number of pencils = 325

Pens = 3 * 325 = 975

Markers = 2 * 325 = 650

Pencils = 325 ; Pens = 975 ; Markers = 650

You are looking down at a map. A vector u with |u| = 6 points north and a vector v with |v| = 5 points northeast. The crossprodu

lina2011 [118]

Answer: Hi!

First, UxV = sin(a)*IUI*IVI

where a is the angle between U and V, in this case 45°.

First, the cross product of UxV points:

Here you can use the right hand method,

Put your hand flat, so the point of your fingers point in the same direction that the first vector, in this case U, so your fingers will point to the north.

Now roll your fingers in the direction of the second vector, so here you will roll your fingers in the northeast direction. Now you will see that your thumb is pointing down, so the cross product of UxV points down.

And the magnitude is 6*5*sin(45) = 21.213

According to a student survey, 16 students liked history, 19 liked English, 18 liked math, 8 liked math and English, 5 liked his

Bogdan [553]

When building a Venn Diagram, I always start from the area with the most overlap to the areas of least overlap. Once you have placed the 3 in the middle, you have counted those people, and therefore you must subtract them from the other surveys. Example: since there are 3 people that like all three subjects, now only have 5 students that like just math and English instead of 8.

Therefore:
A) 36 Students were in the survey
*Add all the numbers within the Venn diagram up. Overlapping doesn't matter because no one is double counted.

B) 6 People liked only Math
*Can't touch any other circle but Math

C) 20 Students liked English and math, but not history
*You add 9+5+6, since these bubbles are not overlapping with history.

I Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions!
