Hey there! ☺

Answer:\boxed{59\text{ and }31}

Explanation:

The first number can be written as x. The two numbers have a difference of 28, so the other number can be written as x-28. The total sum of the two numbers is 90. This can be written as an equation:

x+x-28=90

Add 28 to both sides to leave the variable by itself:

x+x-28+28=90+28\\x+x=118

Add the two x's:

x+x=118\\2x=118

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{118}{2} \\x=59

The first number is 59. The other number can be found by subtracting 28 from 59, since the difference between the two numbers is 28.

59-28=31

To make sure the answer is correct, you can try adding the two numbers to check if they equal 90.

59+31=90\ \checkmark

The answer is 59 and 31.

Hope this helps! ☺

The length of a rectangle is twice it’s width. If the area of the rectangle is 72ft ^2, find it’s perimeter
alisha [4.7K]

Hi!

length = l = 2 * width = 2 * w

Area = l * w = l * 2 * l = 2 * l^2

2 * l^2 = 72

l^2 = 72/2 = 36

l = square root of 36

l = 6

l = 2 * w => w = l/2 = 6/2 = 3

Perimeter = 2 * l + 2 * w = 2 * 6 + 2 * 3 = 12 + 6 = 18 feet

Hope this helps!
