<u>Original</u>

Length (L): L

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

               48 = 2(L) + 2(w)

              24 = L + w    

         24 - L = w

*******************************************

<u>New</u>

Length (L): L + 24

width (w): 2w        ⇒2(24 - L)   = 48 - 2L

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

               112 = 2(L + 24) + 2(48 - 2L)

                112 = 2L + 48 + 96 - 4L

                 112 = -2L + 140

                 -28 = -2L

                   14 = L

Answer: 14 m

Answer:

The answer is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to determine two equations that represent the perimeter before and after of changings.

Let

W=width of the rectangle

L=length of the rectangle

P=perimeter of the rectangle

<u>Before of changings</u>:

P=2*W+2*L\\P=48\\48=2*W+2*L

<u>After of changings</u>:

P=2*(2*W)+2*(L+24)\\\\P=4*W+2*L+48\\P=112\\112=4*W+2*L+48\\64=4*W+2*L

Finally, we resolve both equations:

(-1)*(48)=(-1)*(2*L+2*W)\\-48=-2*W-2*L\\\\64=4*W+2*L\\\\

Adding both equations:

-48+64=-2*W-2*L+4*W+2*L\\16=2*W\\W=16/2=8\\\\

Replacing W value in any equation:

64=4*8+2*L\\64=32+2*L\\2*L=64-32\\2*L=32\\L=32/2=16\\

Then, the length of the original rectangle (before changings) is 16

A soft drink machine outputs of29 ounces per cup. The machines output is normally distributed with with a standard deviation of
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

You will use the z score to find this so need a z score chart.

Step-by-step explanation: Remember to take what you want (35 ounce) minus the mean( 29) then divide by the standard deviation(4). Then you look up this number on the z score chart to find your probability of less than 35 ounces. You could then do the same thing using 34 ounces since your final answer will be between these two numbers.
