Answer:

l = 44 ft

w = 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is

P = 2 ( l+w)

The width is

w = l -24

We know the perimeter is 128 and substituting into the equation for perimeter

128 = 2 ( l + l-24)

128 = 2 ( 2l -24)

Divide by 2

128/2 = 2/2 ( 2l-24)

64 = 2l - 24

Add 24 t o each sdie

64+24 = 2l

88 = 2l

Divide by 2

44 =l

The length is 44

Now find w

w = l - 24

w = 44-24

w = 20

Answer:

\boxed{l=44 \: \mathrm{feet},  \: \: w=20 \: \mathrm{feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The width (w) = l - 24

The length (l) = l

The perimeter (P) = 128

The shape is a rectangle. Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.

P = 2w + 2l

Plug in the values.

128 = 2(l - 24) + 2l

Solve for l.

Expand brackets.

128 = 2l - 48 + 2l

Combine like terms

128 = 4l - 48

Add 48 on both sides.

176 = 4l

Divide both sides by 4.

44 = l

Apply formula again.

P = 2l + 2w

Solve for w.

Subtract 2w and P on both sides.

-2w = 2l - P

Divide both sides by -2.

w = -l + P/2

Plug in the values for l and P, solve for w.

w = -(44) + 128/2

w = -44 + 64

w = 20

The length is 44 feet.

The width is 20 feet.

1. If 5x + 6 = 10, what is the value of 10x + 3?
Digiron [165]
Here the question is simple.
All because, we only need to find the value of x.
We are given two equations.
5x + 6 = 10 and 10x + 3 =?
So, we will find the the value of x in the first equation, so that we can substitute the value of x in the second one and there we are with the answer.
5x + 6 = 10
For finding the value of x, all we have to do is,
Transpose the number 6 to 10
Therefore. 5x = 10 - 6 ( Take the equal sign as The Magic Bridge on which if anyone crosses it , will change its sign.)
So we have,
5x = 4
So x = 4/5 ( Multiplication will change to division after crossing the equal sign)
( Doubtful? Substitute the value of x and try!)
Now that we got the value of x,
We can just simply substitute the value of x in the second equation.
10x + 3 = ?
x = 4/5
10*4/5 +3 => 5 and 10 get canceled to 2 at the numerator.
By normal multiplication and then addition, we will get,
8 + 3 = 11
Hope this helps!!!! :)

3(-2-4v)&lt;-90 help I'm stuck on this one <br>​
Pavel [41]
Well, if you disregard the signs for a second, you can work this like a normal equation:
-6 - 12v = 90
-12v = 96
v = 8
Now just reincorporate the less than sign:
v < 8

How many people swam fewer than 30 laps?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

3 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading a stem & leaf plot can be hard!

Remember in the middle or whichever side is single digits divided by the line is your tens place values.

The 2 has two values on the other side, giving us 23 & 29 laps.

The 1 has one value on the other side, giving us 11 laps.

The 0 has no other value, so there is no data for that row.

There were 3 data points below 30, & these were 11, 23, & 29.

Hope this helped. :)
