Answer: length = 8 units

Width = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by L

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by W

The sum of 5 times the width of a rectangle and twice its length is 26 units. This means that

5W + 2L = 26 - - - - - - - - 1

The difference of 15 times the width and three times the length is 6 units. It means that

15W - 3L = 6 - - - - - - - - 2

The system equations are equation 1 and equation 2.

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

15W + 6L = 78

30W - 6L = 12

Adding both equations,

45W = 90

W = 90/45 = 2

15W - 3L = 6

15×2 - 3L = 6

-3L = 6 - 30 = - 24

L = - 24/ -3 = 8

Please solve and show working for 13-((4/5)+(6/8))=
UNO [17]
<span>13-((4/5)+(6/8))
Make your fractions have common denominators 
</span>13-((32/40)+(30/40))
Add your fractions and simplify
13-(62/40)
or
13-(31/20)
or
13-(1 11/20)
Then turn 13 into a fraction with a common denominator! Im going to use the second fraction method (31/20)
13 written as a fraction is 13/1, its LCD with 31/20 is 20. I now multiply the top and bottom by 20
260/20
Now I rewrite the problem again
(260/20)-(31/20)
Which equals
229/20!
This is your unsimplified answer
Finally you simplify and get
11 9/20
