the length of a rectagle is 5 in longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 56 in, find its length and width

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle = x

As length is 5 inches longer than width, we have to add 5 to width

Length = x + 5

Perimeter of ractangle = 56 in

2* (length + width) = 56

2*( x + 5 + x) = 56

2* (2x + 5) = 56

Use distributive property: a*(b +c) =(a*b) + (a * c)

2*2x + 2*5 = 56

4x + 10 = 56

Subtract 10 from both sides

4x = 56- 10

4x = 46

Divide both sides by 4

x = 46/4

x = 11.5

Width = 11.5 in

length = 11.5 + 5

= 16.5 in

What property describe the number sentence 6 plus 0 equal 6

nata0808 [166]

The identity property of addition states that any number plus zero equals the original number. So, 6 + 0 = 6 shows the identity property of addition. Other number sentences that show this property would include: 8 + 0 = 8, 153 + 0 = 153, and 1,899,888 + 0 = 1,899,888. In each case, the original number plus 0 equals the original number. It doesn't matter how large or small the original number is.

An investment firm invested in two companies last year. They invested $11,000 in Company A and made a profit of 24% . They inves

Tema [17]

First off, "whatever%" of "anything" is just (whatever/100) * anything

part A)

so... firm A got 11,000 invested, turned a profit of 24%, how much is 24% of 11000? well (24/100) * 11000

firm B got 14,000 invested, and returned 15% in profits, how much is 15% of 14000? (15/100) * 14000

part B)

for the amounts above, we get 2640 and 2100 respectively

so, the total profit "amount" is 2640 + 2100 or 4740

the total investement was 11000+14000 = 25000

if 25000 is the 100%, how much is 4740 in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
25000&100\\
4740&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{25000}{4740}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x"

(System of inequality word problem.)

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Because nintendo price=300$

He has 215$

1 chore he does=7$

Meaning if he did 10 chores he get's 70$ added so he did 10 now he has 285$ If he does 2 more chores that is 14$ more added.

So he now has 299$ so he done 12 chores and he needs 1 more dollar so if he did 1 more he gets 306$ and that was the least amount of chores he could do if he wanted 300$

And there's your answer

Hope this helps have a awesome day:)
