The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the following formula: P = 2W + 2L
To solve this formula for W, the goal is to isolate this variable to one side of the equation such that the width of the rectangle (W) can be solved when given its perimeter (P) and length (L).
P = 2W + 2L
subtract 2L from both sides of the equation
P - 2L = 2W + 2L - 2L
P - 2L = 2W
divide both sides of the equation by 2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2W)/2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2/2)W
(P - 2L)/2 = (1)W
(P - 2L)/2 = W
Thus, given that the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is defined by P = 2W + 2L ,
then its width (W) is given by <span>W = (P - 2L)/2</span>
The value of the number can be equal to or less than -3
Answer: (4,-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
8y = -40
(divide by 8)
y = -5
(plug it in to one of the equations)
3x + 6*-5 = -18
3x + -30 = -18
3x = 12
x = 4
I think its 0.156 because / means division
I'm not sure what you mean by 3 or 6a^9, since there are only variables in the photo, but we can try breaking it down.
Let's start with the bottom,
a^2 * a^3 would be a^5 because for exponents you add the exponents of what's multiplied (product rule)
Then using the quotient rule, where you subtract the exponents, a^5/a^5 = a^(5-5)
And anything to the 0th power is 1, so your answer should be 1
Hope that helps!
