The perimeter of a rectangle is 52 m. If the width were doubled and the length were increased by 17 m, the perimeter would be 96

m. What is the length of the original rectangle?

Let w,h be the dimensions of the rectangle. If the original perimeter is 52, we deduce that

2(w+h)=52 \iff w+h=26

Doubling the width and increasing the length by 17 leads to a new perimeter of

96=2(2w+(l+17))=4w+2l+34 \iff 4w+2l=62

From the first equation, we know that (for example) w=26-l

Plug this in the second equation to get

4(26-l)+2l=62 \iff 104-4l+2l=62 \iff -2l=-42 \iff l=21

So, the original length was 21, which implies that the original width was

w=26-l=26-21=5

nlexa [21]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ x = 1 \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

First of all we need to take x different from 3 as dividing by 0 is not allowed

then for x real different from 3

f(x)=0\\\\ \dfrac{x-1}{x-3}=0\\\\ x-1 = 0\\\\ x = 1

Answer:

a) P) 0.25 = 1/4  both

b) P) 0.75 = 3/4  one

c) P) 0.25  = 1/4  none

Step-by-step explanation:

4 routes to D + H

6 routes to H + S

= D  H   S

     4  | 6

    - 2 | -3

=    2  |  3  = route 1 = 2/4  and route 2 = 3/6

= 1/2 route 1 and 1/2 route 2

Answer a ) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 0.25 = 1/4  = 0.25 probability

Answer b)  = 1- (1/2 x 1/2) = 1- 0.25 = 3/4 = 0.75 probability

Answer c)  = 1/2 x 1/2 = 0.25 = 1/4 = 0.25 probability

(6x+2)^2=36x^2+Bx+4 How Would You Answer That. I'm Not That Good At Algebra.
Verizon [17]

Let's multiply out the equation 6x+2 times 6x+2 using the square. Draw a 2 by 2 bow and put the equation across the bottom and verically. Multiply across to get this. 6x times 6x =36x^2 6x times two =12x do it again and get 12x. 2*2=4. That means x would equal 24.
