Answer:
3x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Length should be 2/5yd:
18inch*1yd/36inch=.5yd=> depth
volume= 2(length*width+lenght*depth+depth*width)
let l to be the length.
volume= 2(l*2+2(.5)+.5*2)
volume=5l+2
4=5l+2
2=5l
l=2/5
Answer:
System of equations:
L = 5W + 7
2W + 2L = P
L = 62 cm
W = 11 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the measurements and key words/phrases in the problem, we can set up two different equations that can be used to find both variables, length and width, of the rectangle.
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is: 2W + 2L = P, where W = width and L = length. We also know that the L is '7 more than five times its width'. This can be written as: L = 5W + 7. Using this expression for the value of 'L', we can use the formula for perimeter and solve for width:
2W + 2(5W + 7) = 146
Distribute: 2W + 10W + 14 = 146
Combine like terms: 12W + 14 = 146
Subtract 14 from both sides: 12W + 14 - 14 = 146 - 14 or 12W = 132
Divide 12 by both sides: 12W/12 = 132/12 or W = 11
Put '11' in for W in the equation for 'L': L = 5(11) + 7 or L = 55 + 7 = 62.
