Part A:

Let the width of the rectangle be = x inches

As given, the length of a rectangle is 3 more inches than the width so let the length of the rectangle be = x+3 inches

Perimeter is given as = 54 inches

Perimeter = 2(l+b)

Equation becomes:

2(x+3+x)=54

2(2x+3)=54

Part B:

Solving the equation we get

4x+6=54

4x=54-6

4x=48

x=12

Hence, the width of the rectangle is 12 inches

Length = x+3 = 12+3 = 15 inches

Hence, length of the rectangle is 15 inches.

If time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be quarter that if it is one hour from now. What time is it no
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The time now is 7 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that now is the time T.

We know that:

"if time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be a quarter that if it is one hour from now".

Then:

if we define midnight as 12, and we assume that T is in the pm range.

Then the "time left till midnigth, assuming that the time is four hours from now" will be written as (12 - (T + 4))

With this in mind, we can write the problem as:

12 - (T + 4) = (1/4)*( 12 - (T + 1))

Now we can solve this for T.

12 - T - 4 = (1/4)*(12 - T - 1)

8 - T = (1/4)*(11 - T)

4*(8 - T) = 11 - T

32 - 4*T = 11 - T

32 - 11  = -T + 4*T

21 = 3*T

21/3 = T

7 = T

Then T = 7 pm

The time now is 7 pm

Reflect across the line x=-3​
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

When you reflect a point across the line y = x, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate change places. If you reflect over the line y = -x, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate change places and are negated (the signs are changed). the line y = x is the point (y, x).

Step-by-step explanation:

this is npt the answer but will help you towards the answer

PLEASE HELP DUE IN LESS THAN 5 WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

1. 1:4

2. y = 4 x X

3. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. every 1 minuet he cleans 4 shrimp

2. y is the number of shrimp and x is the time. if every miuet he cleans 4 shrimp, then that means you have to multiply the shrimp by the minuets. for example, if he spends 2 minuets, he cleans 8 shrimp because 2 x 4 = 8.

3. This is a proportional relationship because if you were to put this on a graph, it would be a strait line. for example, if you were to plot x (the time) on a line (this line would go horizontal) and y (shrimp) on the line (this line goes verticle) 1 minuet = 4 shrimp. 2 minuets = 8 shrimp. 3 minuets = 12 shrimp. 4 minuets = 16 shrimp.

i hope this helps. tell me if this is too confusing or if you need more help. have a great day :)
