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>

Without actually carrying out the steps of multiplication, determine whether the product of 15.1 and 0.9 will be larger or small
yan [13]

Answer: Smaller

Step-by-step explanation: The product of 15.1 and 0.9 will be smaller than 15.1. This is because 0.9 is smaller than 1 and since 15.1 * 1 is 15.1, we know that anything smaller than 1 will result in the product of it and 15.1 being smaller.

Find the value of x:
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

These angles are vertical angles. Vertical angles equals to on another but on the opposite side. Since they equal to another you do:

(10x + 1) = (12x - 5)

Add 5 on both sides:

10x + 6 = 12x

Subtract 10x on both sides:

6 = 2x

Divide 2 on both sides:

3 = x

____$$$$!!!!!!!?????
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

To solve, you first want to find the total she hiked in the morning. 1.75+2.4=4.15. Then, you want to subtact the total miles she hiked in the morning from the total miles she hiked in total. 6.5-4.15=2.35. The last step is to compare the miles hiked in the morning compared to the miles in the afternoon by finding the difference. 4.15-2.35=1.8, so therefore she hiked 1.8 more miles in the morning than in the afternoon,
