Ok let us assume x= the width of the table top
the length is 4 times the width meaning we are multiplying 4 and the width
which is x
length = 4x
your first equation would be the following:
4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is
if you drew a rectangle it would help you understand the above.
this represents the perimeter of the tabletop because we know the width is x. if you drew the rectangle there wouldn't be 1 width. opposite to the width is another line. same with the length. the length is 4x again there are 2 because in a rectangle there are 2 sets of parallel lines. that is why your equation would be 4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is- you could simplify this equation and write:
10x= whatever the perimeter is
x basically means 1x but in math we generally don't write that because we tend to write most things in simplest for.
hope this helps :)
The unknown number expressed as a mixed fraction is 11 19/20
Let the unknown number be "x"
The sum of the number and 1.75 is expressed as x + 1.75
Half the sum of a number and 1.75 is 1/2(x+1.75)
Equating the result to -5.1 wil give:
1/2(x+1.75) = -5.1
Solve the resulting equation
x + 1.75 = 2(-5.1)
x + 1.75 = -10.2
x = -10.2 - 1.75
x = 11.95
x = 1195/100
x = 11 95/100
Hence the unknown number expressed as a mixed fraction is 11 19/20
