w - width

3w - 1 - length

54 in - perimeter

w + w + (3w - 1) + (3w - 1) = 8w - 2 - perimeter

The equation:

8w - 2 = 54      <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

8w = 56     <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

w = 7

3w - 1 = 3(7) - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20

<h3>Answer: The length = 20 in.</h3>

a positive number is 5 times less than another positive number. Six times the lesser number plus 3 times the greater is 3. Find
IgorLugansk [536]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

One number is \frac{5}{7} and the other number is \frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number and y be the bigger number.

x = x

y = 5x

6x + 3y = 3

6x + (3 * 5x) = 3

6x + 15x = 3

(÷3)

2x + 5x = 1

7x = 1

x = \frac{1}{7}

6x + 3y = 3

6(\frac{1}{7}) + 3y = 3

\frac{6}{7} + 3y = 3

3y = 3 - \frac{6}{7}

3y = \frac{15}{7}

Divide both sides by 3 to get 1y:

y = \frac{5}{7}

So one number is \frac{5}{7} and the other number is \frac{1}{7}

What is the sign of the product (3) × (−3) × (−2) × (4)?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Positive, because the products (3) × (−3) and (−2) × (4) are negative and the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 * -1 = -1, and -1 * -1 = 1, the product of opposite signs produces negative numbers while the product of same signs produces positive numbers. So the product of 1 * 1 * 1 * -1 = -1, while -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 = 1.
