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

David and Eric each shot 6 arrows at the target shown. David shot 4 arrows into A and 2 into B. His score was 18 points. Eric sh
liq [111]
Lets write an equation for each guy's shots and score:
4A + 2B = 18
3A + 3B = 21
To solve we multiply the first equation by -3 and the second by 2:
-12A - 6B = -54
  6A + 6B = 42
--------------------
-12A + 0 = -12
A = 1
to find B we substitute in the first equation:
<span>4A + 2B = 18
</span><span>4(1) + 2B = 18
</span><span>4 + 2B = 18
</span>2B = 14
B = 7
therefore there were given 7 points in an arrow in B

Given BE= 2x+6 and ED= 5x-12 in a parallelogram ABCD, find BD
Brrunno [24]
1.BE = 2x + 6
   ED = 5x - 12
2. To get the entire side of BD, we must add both half's which equals to the entire length.
3. 2x + 6 + 5x - 12
4.Add like terms.
2x + 5x = 7x
-12 + 6 = -6
5. So, we have 7x - 6

=7x - 6

There are 60 players on a high school football team. The ratio of juniors and seniors to freshmen and sophmores on the team is 2
nata0808 [166]
You know that the ratio of J&S to F&So is 2:3. You need two numbers that have that same ratio to total 60 players.  When you multiply both numbers by 12, you have a ratio of 2:3 but the number of players is 24 to 36.  Thus, the total players is 60.  When looking at the ratio of Juniors to Seniors, the ratio remains 1:2, but must total 24 players.  Dividing the total players by 3, you can find where 1 part of the players equals 2 parts of the others.  Keeping that same ratio in mind, you are able to calculate that the ratio of Juniors to Seniors is 8:16 but when reduced, still remains a 1:2 ratio.

Which ordered pair represents the y-intercept of the graph of the equation y = –4x – 7?
Dovator [93]
If <span>y = –4x – 7, the x-intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for x:

</span><span>0 = –4x – 7  =>  4x = -7, or   x = -7/4       The x-intercept is (-7/4, 0).

</span><span>The y-intercept is found by setting x = 0 and reading off the value of y:

y = –4x – 7  =>  y = 0 - 7, or y = -7.  The y-intercept is (0, -7).</span>
