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.

Solve for z. 20 − (z + 7) = 0.9
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 12.1

Step-by-step explanation:

20 − (z + 7) = 0.9

Distribute the minus sign

20 -x -7 = .9

Combine like terms

13 -x = .9

Subtract 13 from each side

-x = -12.1

x = 12.1
