2l + 2w = 16

2(l + w) = 16

l + w = 8

Lengths could be any numbers greater than 0 and less than 8

0 < l < 8

Answer:

possible length is 1 to 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 16 inches. The equation that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 2l + 2w = 16, where l represents the length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle.

2l + 2w = 16, divide the whole equation by 2

l + w = 8, now subtract 'w' on both sides

l =8-w

Here , width should be greater than 1. Suppose width =1 ,

then length = 8-1=7. It means the length should be less than 1

So , the possible length of the rectangle is between 1 to 7

A mother has two children whose ages differ by 5 years. The sum of the squares of their ages is 97. The square of the​ mother's
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

41 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent age of younger child.

We have been given that a mother has two children whose ages differ by 5 years. So the age of older child would be x+5.

The sum of the squares of their ages is 97. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x^2+(x+5)^2=97

Let us solve for x.

x^2+x^2+10x+25=97

2x^2+10x+25-97=0

2x^2+10x-72=0

Divide both sides by 2:

x^2+5x-36=0

x^2+9x-4x-36=0

x(x+9)-4(x+9)=0

(x+9)(x-4)=0

(x+9)=0 ; (x-4)=0

x=-9 ; x=4

Since age cannot be negative, therefore, age of younger child is 4 years.

Age of older child would be x+5\Rightarrow4+5=9

Therefore, the age of older child would be 9 years.

We have been given that the square of the​ mother's age can be found by writing the squares of the​ children's ages one after the other as a​ four-digit number.

Square of 4: 4^2=16

Square of 9: 9^2=81.

Square of mother's age: 1681

To find mother's age, we need to take positive square root of 1681 as:

\sqrt{1681}=41

Therefore, the mother is 41 years old.

15x + 45 = 15 (3 + x) always never one solution how do I do it​
const2013 [10]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to try to get rid of the ().

To do this:

15 * 3 and 15 * x

This makes 45 and 15x after the = , so the formula is now:

15x + 45 = 45 + 15x

Now get the 15x to the left side. When a number switches sides, it becomes negative when positive and positive when negative. So in this case 15x will become -15x and the 45(on the left) becomes - 45

15x - 15x = 45 - 45
