Answer:

x = 10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we need to know the equation for the perimeter of a rectangle.  This equation is:

P = 2L + 2W

Where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.

We are given P = 84, L = 3x -1 , and W = x.  Now we just plug these values in and solve for x.

P = 2L + 2W

84 = 2 ( 3x - 1 ) + 2 ( x )

84 = 6x - 2 + 2x

84 = 8x - 2

86 = 8x

86 / 8 = x

43 / 4 = x

(40 + 3) / 4 = x

10.75 = x

Hence, the value of x = 10.75.

Cheers.

Two trains leave New York at the same time heading in opposite directions. Train A travels at 4/5 the speed of train one. After

<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph
