<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Width is 8 and the Length is 19.</em>

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

<em> x = width </em>

<em>2x + 3 = length {length is 3 more than twice width}  </em>

<em>Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width) + 2(length)  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> 2x + 2(2x + 3) = 54 {perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length)} </em>

<em>2x + 4x + 6 = 54 (used distributive property)</em>

<em>6x + 6 = 54 (combined like terms) </em>

<em>6x = 48 (subtracted 6 from both sides)</em>

<em>x = 8 (divided both sides by 6)</em>

<em>2x + 3 = 19 (substituted 8, in for x, into 2x + 3)</em>

<em> </em>

<em>The width = 8 and length = 19</em>

<em>Best of luck,</em>

<em>Echy~</em>

During winter, Detroit is colder than Boston but warmer than Minneapolis. Which inequality correctly compares the winter tempera
Nat2105 [25]
We will take one given at a time, the common place is "Detroit", so we will take it as a reference.

1- Detroit is colder than Boston, this means that:
Temperature in Detroit < Temperature in Boston .........> I

2- Detroit is warmer that <span>Minneapolis, this means that:
Temperature is </span><span>Minneapolis < Temperature in Detroit .........> II

From I and II, we can conclude that:
</span><span>Minneapolis has the lowest temperature, followed by Detroit and then Boston.

Comparing this to the choices, we will find that the correct choice is:
</span><span>2. Minneapolis's temperature < Detroit's temperature < Boston's temperature</span>

Iv)<br>6x+3y=6xy<br>2x + 4y= 5xy​
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Ok, we have a system of equations:

6*x + 3*y = 6*x*y

2*x + 4*y = 5*x*y

First, we want to isolate one of the variables,

As we have almost the same expression (x*y) in the right side of both equations, we can see the quotient between the two equations:

(6*x + 3*y)/(2*x + 4*y) = 6/5

now we isolate one off the variables:

6*x + 3*y = (6/5)*(2*x + 4*y) =  (12/5)*x + (24/5)*y

x*(6 - 12/5) = y*(24/5  - 3)

x = y*(24/5 - 3)/(6 - 12/5) = 0.5*y

Now we can replace it in the first equation:

6*x + 3*y = 6*x*y

6*(0.5*y) + 3*y = 6*(0.5*y)*y

3*y + 3*y = 3*y^2

3*y^2 - 6*y = 0

Now we can find the solutions of that quadratic equation as:

y = \frac{6 +- \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4*3*0} }{2*3} = \frac{6 +- 6}{6}

So we have two solutions

y = 0

y = 2.

Suppose that we select the solution y = 0

Then, using one of the equations we can find the value of x:

2*x + 4*0 = 5*x*0

2*x = 0

x = 0

(0, 0) is a solution

if we select the other solution, y = 2.

2*x + 4*2 = 5*x*2

2*x + 8 = 10*x

8 = (10 - 2)*x = 8x

x = 1.

(1, 2) is other solution
