A rectangle has perimeter 78 cm and length 32 cm. What is its width?​

Answer:

width = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to find the perimeter you multiply the width by 2, multiply the length by 2, then add them together.

P = 2L + 2W

But, we already know the perimeter and length, so we need to find the width.

78 = 2(32) + 2W

78 = 64 + 2W

-64   -64

14 = 2W

/2     /2

7 = W

So, to check your answer, plug in the width (that you just found), and the length to see if you get 78, the perimeter.

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(32) + 2(7)

P = 64 + 14

P = 78

So, yes, the width =7

Find each percent of change. Round yo the nearest whole percent if necessary. <br><br> 55 to 35
Reptile [31]
So subtract 55 from 35

35 - 55 = -20

then, put -20 over 55

-20/55 equals -0.36 repeating, rounded to -0.36, which equals 36%

the negative stands for decrease, so it's around 36% decrease

Write an equation for a line parallel to y=-3x+2 that passes through the point (-1,4)
Wewaii [24]

<span>y=−3x+2</span> is a linear equation in slope-intercept form with
slope <span>m=<span>(−3)</span></span>
(and y-intercept <span>=2</span>)

We want the equation of a line with slope <span>m=<span>(−3)</span></span> through the point <span>(<span>−2</span>,<span>−8</span>)</span>

Using the point-slope linear equation form:
<span><span>(y−<span>(−8)</span>)</span>=<span>(−3)</span><span>(x−<span>(−2)</span>)</span></span>

Simplifying
<span>y+8=−3x−6</span>
or, in standard form
<span>3x+y=−<span>14</span></span>

Joseph has started completing the square on the equation 3x2 - 7x + 12 = 0. He has worked to the point where he has the expressi
tresset_1 [31]
3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4

His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.
