Answer:

length = 24, width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length and width of the first rectangle w + 15 and w respectively. This means that the length and width of the second rectangle is (w + 15) - 2 and w + 5 respectively. Since the perimeter of the second rectangle is 72, we can write:

2 * ((w + 15) - 2 + w + 5) = 72 because perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

(w + 15) - 2 + w + 5 = 36 (Divide by 2)

2w + 18 = 36 (Combine like terms)

2w = 18 (Subtract 18)

w = 9 (Divide by 2)

This means that the length and width are 24 and 9.

There is a difference between a research topic and a research question. A research question provides a foundation for creating a
True [87]

The research question is important to a researcher as it helps in solving the issue that the researcher wants to solve.

  • The research topic will be "Social media has an effect on the behavior of children".

  • The research question will be "what effect does social media has on the effects of the behavior of children".

  • The null hypothesis will be "there is no statistical significance between social media and children's behavior".

  • The alternative hypothesis will be "there is a statistical significance between social media and children's behavior".

  • The null hypothesis will be rejected when the p-value is equal to the significance level or it's less than it.

Ok so lets say D= Dog And C=Cat 
 D+C = 54

D = 8C
<span>
Now, substitute 8C for D in the first equation to get: </span>

<span>8C + C = 54 </span>

<span>Solving for the cat gives us C = 6 </span>

<span>D = 8 x 6 = 48
