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>

Nine times the difference of a number and one is equal to seven less than two times the number
Oksana_A [137]
9*(x-1)=2x-7
First get rid of your parenthesis by distributing. 
9x-9=2x-7
Then all you have to do is isolate the variable
9x=2x+2
7x=2
so x= 2/7

Is a tray with a circumference of 32 inches is big enough to
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference formula is C=2 pi r, if you divide the pizza by 2 to get the radius,5, then input it into the formula to get 31.41592654, and since this number is smaller than 32 it will fit. If 10 is the radius it will not fit.

Sophia is at home, and has to
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Sophia should start her homework at 5:55

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes her 10 minutes to go to school, 30 minutes to do her homework, and 25 minutes to eat dinner, you should add those numbers together to get 65 because then you can subtract 65 minutes from 7:00 so you get the time she needs to start her homework in order to get to school at 7:00. So basically 10+30+25=65 and then 65 minutes subtracted from 7:00 is 5:55.

I hope this helps you :D
