Answer:

length = 10 cm; width = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length 2x and the width 5x. Since perimeter can be calculated by multiplying the sum of the length and width by 2 we can write:

2 * (2x + 5x) = 70

2 * (7x) = 70

7x = 35

x = 5 which means the length is 2 * 5 = 10 and the width is 5 * 5 = 25.

Solve this equation 2x - 3=2x - 5
Alex
When you calculate 2x-3=2x-5 it’s going to lead as -3=-5, therefore this statement is inaccurate and doesn’t have a value of x, it doesn’t even have a solution.

So a scale drawing of a school bus has a scale of 12 inch to 5 feet. If the length of the school bus is 412 inches on the scale
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

So since the scale is 12 inches:5 feet, we have to divide 412 inches by 12 inches because 412 inches is the total length drawn on the scale drawing.

412/12 = 34.3

Then since each 12 inches equals 5 feet and we have 34.3 12x inches. We are just going to multiply 34.3 by 5.

34.3*5 = 171 and 2/3 feet is your actual length of the bus
