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

A. find the value of a. B. Find the value of the marked angles.
Marat540 [252]

The marked angles are opposite angles, and as such they have the same measure. So, we have

6a+11 = 2a+83

Subtract 2a and 11 from both sides to get

4a = 72

Divide both sides by 4 to get

a = \dfrac{72}{4} = 18

Now that we know the value of a, we can compute the measure of the angles. We can also verify that the solution we found is correct by verifying that both expressions actually give the same result:

6a+11 = 6\cdot 18 + 11 = 119

2a+83 = 2\cdot 18 + 83 = 119

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

  $12,958

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of the account, principal plus interest, is given by ...

  A = P(1 +rt)

The given information tells us ...

  12,122 = P(1 + .08×2) = 1.16P

Then the principal amount is ...

  12,122/1.16 = 10,450

__

When that same amount is invested using a different rate and time period, it becomes ...

  A = 10,450(1 + .09×(2 2/3)) = 10,450×1.24 = 12,958

It will amount to $12,958 in 2 years 8 months at 9%.
