Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the value of x in given equation $3 -2x = 15$

Step 1 : We have to eliminate 3 from LHS

We proceed this by subtracting 3 from both the sides to balance the equation

$3 - 2x = 15\\3 - 3 -2x = 15 - 3\\-2x = 12$

Step 2: Now, we have to eliminate -2 from LHS

We proceed this by dividing both sides by -2

$-2x = 12\\\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{12}{-2} \\x = -6$

Therefore we have x =-6

3 - 2x = 15

-2x = 15 - 3

-2x = 12

x = 12 ÷ 2

x = 6

Brad says that if a second number is 125% of the first number than the second number must be 75% of the second number is he corr

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the first number is x, and the second number is y. Given, the second number is 125% of the first number. So, the equation will be

y = 1.25 x

Or, y= 5/4x

Now, multiplying it with 4/5, we get, x= 4/5y

Or, x= 0.80 y

But, Brad is saying the first number must be 75% of the second number. But here we see that the first number is 80% of the second number. That's why Brad is incorrect.

The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 324m^2, find its perimeter.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$perimeter=90$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length is four times the width, so:

$l=4w$

We also know the area, which is 324 m². The formula for area:

$A=l*w$

Insert the known values:

$324=(4w)*w$

Solve for w. Simplify by removing parentheses:

$324=4w*w\\324=4w^2$

Divide 4 from both sides to isolate the variable:

$\frac{324}{4}=\frac{4w^2}{4} \\\\81=w^2$

Find the square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{81} =\sqrt{w^2} \\\\w=9$

The width is 9 m.

We know the width. Now find the length by using the area formula and inserting known values:

$324=l*9$

Solve for l. Divide both sides by 9:

$\frac{324}{9}=\frac{l*9}{9}\\\\ l=36$

The length of the rectangle is 36. (You can check: 4 times 9 is 36)

Now find the perimeter:

$P=2l+2w$

Insert values:

$P=2(36)+2(9)\\\\P=72+18\\\\P=90$

The perimeter is 90 m.
