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

Consider the following linear equations. y = 2x + 5 y = 2x - 3 Which statement below if True?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given as;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is y-intercept

Let’s evaluate the options one after the other;

A. This is wrong as they both have same slope of 2

C. The y-intercepts are not the same

One is 5, the other is -3

D. This is wrong, the line cannot be the same

Option B is correct

The y-intercept of both varies

While 1 is already appreciated, the other is coming back

Solve the following system of equations using elimination (Do not multipy)
aivan3 [116]
1) 5x - 6y = -32 --> equation 1
    3x + 6y = 48  --> equation 2
eliminating y from both of the equations and adding the rest of the terms
we get,
    8x = 16
    dividing 8 on both sides
    x = 2
Substituting the value of x in equation 1
   5(2) - 6y = -32
    10 - 6y = -32
   -6y = -12 ( dividing both sides by -6)
    y = 2

2) 
-3x - 3y = 9 ---> equation 1
      3x - 4y = 5 --> equation 2
eliminating x from both equations and adding the rest of the terms
 we get,
     -7y = 14 ( dividing both sides by -7 )
      y = -2
Substituting the value of y in the equation 1
    -3x - 3(-2) =9
    -3x + 6 = 9 (subtracting both sides by -6)
     -3x = 3
     x = -1

Hope this helps you..  :)
