The formula for perimeter is P=2l+2w where P is perimeter, l is length and w is width. P=54 inches and l is 15 inches but we do not know the value of w. Let's replace the letters with their number
P=2l+2w
54=2(15)+2w
54=30+2w  let's group like terms or numbers that are similar. 54 and 30 have no letters attached to them and so are the similar. So let's move 30 to the right side. Since 30 is positive on the right side, subtract it from both sides of the equation.
54-30=30+2x-30
24=2w
24/2=2w/2
12=w Therefore the width is 12 inches.

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The desired point is thus (-1/2, -5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-component of this directed line segment is 2 - (-8), or 10, and the y-component is -7 - (1), or -8.  This segment is in Quadrant II, since the x-component is positive and the y-component is negative.

The point of interest is (3/4) of the way in the positive x-direction from x = -8.  We can express this symbolically as -8 + (3/4)(10), or -8 + 7.5, or -1/2.

The point of interest is 3/4 of the way in the negative y direction from 1, or:

1 + (3/4)(-8), or 1 - 6, or -5.

The desired point is thus (-1/2, -5).

Eric has $100,000 in savings account.The interest rate is 8 % per year and is not compounded.To the nearest Dollar,how much will
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

To calculate the simple interest, we say

S.I = (PxRxT)/100

Where P = the principal amount

R= rate in terms of %

And T= time.

Now P= $100 000

R= 8%

T= 3 years

S.I= (100,000 x8 x3)/100

=$2 400 000/100

= $24, 000

So the interest is 24000

Total amount he will be having = 100000 + 24 000

The total money he will be having in 3 years time = $124 000
