Answer:
There are 24 green marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of green marbles, then:
3/2 = 36/x
3x = 2*36
3x = 72
x = 24.
Answer:g(f(x))= x^2 +6x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
g(f(x))= x^2 -4
g(f(x))= (x+3)^2 -4
g(f(x))= (x+3)(x+3) -4
g(f(x))= x^2 +6x+9-4
g(f(x))= x^2 +6x+5
Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this, we first need to look at the perimeter equation:
P=2L+2W
We don't know our length, so we can represent it with x. Since our width is 2 feet shorter than x, we can represent it with x-2. Now, we plug these values into our equation:
56=2x+(2(x-2))
Let's simplify what the width is by multiplying:
56=2x+2x-4
Now, let's combine our 2xs
56=4x-4
Now, we just need to solve for x in order to find our length and width.
First, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 4 to both sides:
56=4x-4
+4 +4
60=4x
Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 4 and x will be fully isolated:
60=4x
÷4 ÷4
15=x
Now that we know x, let's plug this into our previous equations:
L=x=15
<u>L=15</u>
W=x-2=15-2=13
<u>W=13</u>
To verify our answers, we can plug this into our perimeter equation:
56=2(15)+2(13)
56=30+36
56=56
After double checking our answers, we know that our length is 15 and our width is 13.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
