Hello : 
let : y  The length   and x the width  .... <span>the perimeter is : 2(x+y)
</span><span>The length of a rectangle is one more than five times its width: y = x +5
</span>the system is:  2(x+y) = 38.....(1)
                         y = x + 5.........(2)
subst in (1) : 2(x+x+5) = 38
                     4x+10 = 38
 4x =28...... x = 7
but: y = x +5
y = 7+5 = 12

A sandbox has a perimeter of 21 1/2 feet. If the length is 5 1/4 feet, what is the area of the sand box?
LiRa [457]
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is half the perimeter, 10 3/4 ft.

The width will be the difference between this and the length, hence 5 1/2 ft.

The area is the product of length and width.
  A = length×width
  A = (5.25 ft)×(5.5 ft) = 28.875 ft²

The area of the sandbox is 28 7/8 ft².

Shawna and her best friend Keisha go shopping.
amid [387]

Answer:

138

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = 3x^4 + 2x^3 − 4x^2 + 21

Let x = 2

p(2) = 3*(2)^4 + 2*(2)^3 − 4*(2)^2 + 21

       = 3*16+2*8-4*4+21

       =48+16-16+21

        = 69

This is per girl

There are 2 girls

2 * 69

27 Solve for x to the nearest tenth: x² + x - 5 = 0.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the quadratic formula to get the answer to this

Quadratic Formula: -b +- √b² - 4ac/2a

Once we input A, B, and C into this, and solve any multiplication, we get

x = -1  +- √1 + 20/2

We divide by 2a, which 2a = 2.

-0.5 +- 10.5.

these are the following values of x:

x = 10

x = 11

Pretty sure this is it, hope it helps!

Find the distance between the points (6,-4) and (0,5)
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

d = 10.8167

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be easily found by using the following expression

d = √((x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2)

where

(x1,y1) = (6,-4)

(x2,y2) = (0,5)

d = √((6-0)^2 + (-4-5)^2)

d = √(36 + 81)

d = √(117)

d = 10.8167
