Answer:

width = 6

length = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2L + 2W

L = W - 2

plug in perimeter:

20 = 2L + 2W

you know the length is 2 less than the width

plug in (w - 2) for L:

20 = 2(w - 2) + 2w

solve for w:

20 = 2w - 4 + 2w

20 = 4w - 4

4w = 24

w = 6

now plug in 6 for w in either equation, whichever is easier to solve:

L = 6 - 2

L = 4

width = 6

length = 4

What is the relation between the variables in the equation x^4/y=7?

makkiz [27]

Answer:

So, the relation between variables are

$y=\frac{x^4}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

$\frac{x^4}{y}=7$

Since, we have to find relation between variables

so, we can solve for y

$\frac{x^4}{y}=7$

Firstly, we will multiply both sides by y

$\frac{x^4}{y}\times y=7\times y$

we can simplify it

$x^4=7\times y$

we can isolate y

so, we can divide both sides by 7

so, we get

$y=\frac{x^4}{7}$

A bank account earns interest at a rate of 3.5% per year ( in other words it increases in value by that percent) and starts with

LenKa [72]

Annually cumulating interest can be determined by the following formula:

$W = P(1+r)^{y}$

r represents the interest rate as a decimal, and P represents the starting amount of money.
