Width of the rectangle is 13 cm and length is 29 cm.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given perimeter of the rectangle = 84 cm. Let the width be x, then the length of the rectangle = 2x + 3. Use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width) to find the dimensions.

84 = 2(2x + 3 + x) = 2(3x + 3) = 6(x + 1) [taking 3 as common factor outside)

⇒ 84 = 6x + 6

⇒ 78 = 6x

∴ x = 13

⇒ Width of the rectangle = 13 cm

∴ Length of the rectangle = 2x + 3 = 29 cm

A theater company charge $8.50 per ticket for people of all age groups
e-lub [12.9K]

Let c = # of children who bought a ticket // Let a = # of adults who bought a ticket

Since the theater company charges $8.50 for all age groups, it isn't necessary to have two different variables. The expressions that you could use are:

8.5(a + c)

8.5a + 8.5c

They both equate to the same thing, just two different ways of writing it. I hope this helps!

What is the mean?<br><br> $5.25, $3.50, $4.50, $4.00 , $3.50
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: $4.15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean we just have to sum all the values and divide them by the number of data.

mean = (5.25 + 3.50 + 4.50 + 4.00 + 3.50) / 5

mean = 20.75/5

mean = $ 4.15
