The length of a rectangle is 5 less thsn twice it's width. The perimeter is 26 meters. Find the deminsion of rectangle
Reptile [31]

Answer:Width is 6 meters and length is 7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:Let width be  

x

and length be  

y

. We know that the length of the rectangle is 5 less than twice its width. This can be written as:

y

=

2

x

−

5

We also know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 26 meters. The perimeter is the sum of all sides: 2 widths + 2 lengths.

P

=

2

x

+

2

y

26

=

2

(

x

+

y

)

x

+

y

=

13

We now have two equations which we can solve simultaneously. Substitute  

y

=

2

x

−

5

into the second equation:  

x

+

y

=

13

x

+

(

2

x

−

5

)

=

13

3

x

=

18

x

=

6

Now that we have a value for  

x

(width), we can sub this value into the first equation to get  

y

(length).

y

=

2

(

6

)

−

5

y

=

7

There are other methods you can use to solve simultaneous equations.

Hope this helps :)

Find the slope of the line that is ​(a) parallel and ​(b) perpendicular to the line through the pair of points. ​(−5​,−4​) and ​
Reil [10]
Slope of a line parallel is equal to change in y over change in x: which is 9/8, or 1.125. A line perpendicular is the negative reciprocal, which is -8/9.
