Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.

The first thing you should do is use the method of variable separation. Then, integrate both sides to find the solution.

Please this is my last point I really need help <br> Show workings

Answer:

x = 14.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we know that a triangle has a total interior degree of 180°. And since we already have a 95° angle, we just need to subtract 95 from 180.

180° - 95° = 85°

Now, we already have indicators that two of the three sides are equal. And we already got the angle of the side that does not have a matching partner. So we just need to divide what we already have by 2.

85° / 2 = 42.5°

Now that we know each side is 42.5 degrees, we just need to grab our given equation and put and equal sign at the end with what we already know is the answer (since we are trying to solve for <em>x</em>).

(4x - 15) = 42.5

Now, let's just get rid of those useless parentheses.

4x - 15 = 42.5

Next, we just need to have the variable on its own side, all by itself. So, in order to do that, we just add 15 to both sides.

4x = 57.5

Now, for our final step, we just need to divide each side by our variables' factor (which is a positive 4). In which we get our final answer of:

x = 14.375

Can anybody help me with this question?
Bogdan [553]
For number 16 we need to write the data as a ratio then convert to a unit rate (amount per 1)...

308/14 = x/1

Cross multiply

14x = 308
x = 308/14
x = 22

So the fuel efficiency is
22 miles per 1 gallon or

22/1

For number 17, since the car was driven at 48 mph, we just have to divide distance driven by speed to get how long it took...

288 miles ÷ 48 mph =

6 hours
