Answer:

w = 20 1/3 ft.

l = 43 2/3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

w=width l = length

l = 3 + 2w

128 = 2l + 2w

128 = 2(3 + 2w) + 2w

128 = 6 + 4w +2w

122 = 6w

20 1/3 = w

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>The first part of finding the length and width of this rectangle is defining each of the lengths as <em>variables</em>. We usually do this by writing, "let" for each statement. Let's try!</h3><h2>Let x = the width</h2><h2>      2x + 3 = the length</h2>

Now, let's define the perimeter in terms of x. So, we understand that the perimeter consists of the width times 2 and the length times 2. It's simply how rectangles work, right? Let's do this, then! Let's find the perimeter in terms of x!

<h3>  2(x) + 2(2x + 3)=</h3><h3>=2x + 4x + 6</h3><h3>=6x + 6</h3>

Considering the width of the rectangle is x and the length is 2x + 3, the perimeter of the rectangle is 6x + 6. But hey, we already know what the actual perimeter of the rectangle is! Let's make a system of equations! (We're getting a little advanced here but it's alright, ask me questions if you need to!)

<h2>Let P = total perimeter of the rectangle</h2><h2>P = 6x + 6</h2><h2>P = 128 feet</h2><h3>We can solve this system of equations by using the equal values method. If you need more help, you can search the equal values method on the internet. If you need more explanation, please ask!</h3><h2>Now we know that both 6x + 6 and 128 are both equal to P. This means that 6x + 6 and 128 are equal, too! We can now make an equation to find x, the width!</h2><h2>6x + 6 = 128</h2><h2>      - 6      - 6</h2><h2>6x = 122</h2><h2>x = 122/6 = 20 ¹/₃ feet</h2><h3>Since we have already defined x as 20 1/3 feet. Now we can find the length, 2x + 3. We can plug x into the equation.</h3><h2>2 ( 20 ¹/₃ ) + 3 = length</h2><h2>40 ²/₃ + 3 = length</h2><h2>length = 43 ²/₃.</h2><h2><em>Now we can check our work!</em></h2><h2>6x + 6 = 128</h2><h2>6(20 ¹/₃) + 6 = 128</h2><h2>6(20 ¹/₃) = 122</h2><h3>If we multiply 6 and 20 ¹/₃, we find the product as 122. This means that x is true in the situation and that it is correct.</h3><h2>If you need help, please tell me in the comments! I'm happy to help! <3</h2><h2><em></em></h2>

3.<br> If r=9.b=5, and g=-6, what does (r +b-8)(b + g) equal?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 9, b = 5, g = -6

Plug these values into (r + b - 8)(b + g)

[(9) + (5) - 8]*[(5) + (-6)]

Combine like terms in the brackets

[6]*[-1]

6 times -1 equals -6, so that is your answer

WILL GIVE 32 POINTS FOR WHOEVER GIVES CORRECT ANSWER
Brilliant_brown [7]

Graph the line that goes through the point (3,-1) and has a y-intercept of -4:

You can simply graph two points to create the line for this problem. The points are (3, -1) and (0, -4). The slope for this line is 1/1 too, which means that if you need more points, you would start at either of the two given points and go up one unit and over one unit to the right.

Select three points that the line would go through (y = x - 3):

In the equation, the y-intercept is given, which is one point - (0,-3). Then, we can go up one unit and right one unit to find a second point - (1,-2). And also down one unit and left one unit to find a third point - (-1,4).

Which equation represents the same relationship shown in the graph:

First, let's find the y-intercept, which is (0,6). Then, we can find other points where the line crosses and count how many units up and to the right that would be, which is 1/1. Therefore, the correct equation is B - y = x + 6.

Which of the following graphs represents y = x - 2:

The y-intercept is (0,-2) and the slope is positive and 1/1. We are looking for a graph that crosses through the point (0,-2), points up and to the right, and increases by 1 unit up and 1 unit right each time. Therefore, the correct graph is B.

Hope this helps!! :)

25 points!!!!! answer quickly!!!!!! atlantic auditorium has 850 seats. tickets were sold for 816 of the seats. for what percent
Wewaii [24]

To find the percentage of something, cross multiply its ratio with x/100. X is the percentage we need to find.

816/850 = x/100

816 * 100 = 850 * x

81600 = 850x

Now time to isolate x.

81600/850 = 850x/850

96 = x

The answer is 96%.
