P = perimeter

Perimeter of a rectangle = l + l + w + w

or  P = 2l + 2w

You know:

P = 150 m

l = w + 5     [length is 5 m greater than the width]

P = 2l + 2w        Plug in what you know

150 = 2(w + 5) + 2w     Simplify, distribute/multiply 2 into (w + 5)

150 = 2w + 10 + 2w

150 = 4w + 10     Subtract 10 to both sides of the equation

140 = 4w       Divide 4 on both sides

35 = w

PROOF               l = w + 5 --->  l = 40

P = 2l + 2w

150 = 2(40) + 2(35)

150 = 80 + 70

150 = 150

Which best describe the relationship between the two lines describe below?
Anna007 [38]

we have

6x+3y=12 -----> line p

Find the slope

3y=-6x+12

y=-2x+4

m=-2

-4x=2y-2 -----> line Q

2y=-4x+2

y=-2x+1

m=-2

therefore

the lines are parallel because their slopes are equal

Please anyone help me answer this question am giving the brainliest

Answer:

(-3/2x+1) + (3/x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dont put the answer in parenthesis, I just did that to seprate it so it was easier to read. If you need it to be put in word form for it to be easier for you to understand, its "negative three divided by two x plus one, plus 3 divided by x minus 1"

First, rewrite the expression as 3x+6/2x^2+x-2x-1

Then, factor the expression, 3x+6/x*(2x+1)-(2x+1) (*=multiply)

Then, write a new fraction for each factor in the denominator, then write a new fraction, 3x+6/(2x+1)*(x-1) to (A)/2x+1 + B/x-1)

Then write terms in the numerators, for now we will use A and B.

Now we set the sum of the fractions equal to the original fraction.

3x+6/(2x+1)*(x-1) = A)/2x+1 + B/x-1).

Then reorder and group the terms, giving you 3x+6=(A+2B)x+(-A+B).

Now equate the coefficiants, {6= -A+B, 3= A+2B

Then substitute back, (A, B)=(-3, 3)

Now finally, just rewrite the fraction. (-3/2x+1) + (3/x-1)

Hope this helps! Sorry its kind of long.

Write a word problem in which you multiply a fraction by a number greater than 1. Estimate the product, then compare the product
Sidana [21]
There are seven people who each want half an ounce of brocolli. So, you multiply 1/2 by 7, which would be around 3 and 1/2. The actual number, will be 3 and 1/2 though as well.
