<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>

Solve the inequality. |2x + 10| &gt; 26
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

x > 8

x < -16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 10 > 26

2x + 10 - 10 > 26 - 10

2x > 16

2x/2 > 16/2

x > 8

2x + 10 < -26

2x + 10 - 10 < - 26 - 10

2x < -36

2x/2 < -36/2

x < -16

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the prob ability that a randomly selected household speaks only English at home is 0.81. Th
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the prob ability that a randomly selected household speaks only English at home is 0.81.

The probability that a randomly selected household speaks only Spanish at home is 0.12.

(a)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks only English or only Spanish at home

= 0.81+0.12 = 0.93

(since these two are disjoint sets)

(b)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks a language other than only English or only Spanish at home

= 1-0.93= 0.07 (remaining)

(c)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks a language other than only English at home

=1-0.81=0.19

(d) Can the probability that a randomly selected household speaks only Polish at home equal 0.08? Why or why not?

Polish alone can never exceed 1-(0.81+0.12) i.e. 0.70

At most it can take values as 0.7 only

So no is the answer.
