A postage stamp is shaped like a rectangle with a perimeter of 88 millimeters. The length (x) is 10 millimeters less than twice

the width (y). The system of equations shown below represents this situation.
x = 2y - 10
2x + 2y = 88

Which statement is true?

Question 4 options:

The width of the stamp is 1 millimeters


The length of the stamp is 36 millimeters


The width of the stamp is 8 millimeters less than the length.


The length of the stamp is 10 millimeters greater than the width

Length = x, width = y

x = 2y - 10....so sub in 2y - 10 for y back in the other equation

2x + 2y = 88
2(2y - 10) + 2y = 88
4y - 20 + 2y = 88
4y + 2y = 88 + 20
6y = 108
y = 108/6
y = 18

x = 2y - 10
x = 2(18) - 10
x = 36 - 10
x = 26

so the length (x) is 26 mm and the width (y) is 18 mm

The width of the stamp is 8 mm less then the length (26 - 18 = 8)

Ethan plotted points E, F, G, H, and I on a number line, as shown below. Which two points that Ethan plotted represent numbers t
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

F and H

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, the location of the points are E = -9, F = -6, G = -2, H = 6, I = 8. The law of additive inverse states that for a number a, its additive inverse is a number that when added to a equals to zero. This number is usually opposite in sign to a and of the same magnitude i.e -a. The law is given as:

a + (-a) = 0

From the points, F is the additive inverse of H, hence:

F + H = 0

6 + (-6) = 6 - 6 = 0

Hence the two points are F ad H

just olya [345]
The total amount owed after 6 months will be found using the formula:
FV=P(1+r/100*n)^n
P=principle=$10000
r=rate=18%
n=terms=0.5


FV=10000(1+18/2*100)^0.5
FV=$10,440.30651
Thus the amount owed will be $10440.30651
