Mathematics

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 *(L +w)

b) w = L - 2  

Answer: B

c)  Perimeter =  96 inches

2* (l +w)  = 96

2*( L + L - 2 ) = 96               {Combine like terms}

2 * (2L - 2) = 96          {use distributive law}

 2*2L - 2*2 = 96

       4L - 4 = 96     {Add 4 to both sides}

             4L = 96 +4

            4L = 100      {divide both sides by 4}

        4L/4  = 100/4

L =  25 inches

d) w = L - 2

        = 25 - 2

w = 23 inches

If f(x)=4x-7 and g(x)=2x+4 evalvate f(x)+g(x) for x=-3
galben [10]

Answer:

-21

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told to find f(x) + g(x) for x= -3. Therefore, we must evaluate f(-3) and g(-3), then add them together.

First, evaluate f(-3).

f(x)=4x-7

To find f(-3), we need to substitute -3 in for x.

f(-3)= 4(-3)-7

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction First, multiply 4 and -3.

f(-3)= -12-7

Next, subtract 7 from -12

f(-3)= -19

Next, find g(-3).

g(x)=2x+4

To find g(-3), substitute -3 in for x.

g(-3)= 2(-3)+4

Solve according to PEMDAS. First, multiply 2 and -3.

g(-3)= -6+4

Next, add -6 and 4

g(-3)= -2

Now, we can add f(-3) and g(-3) together.

f(-3) + g(-3)

f(-3)= -19

g(-3)= -2

-19 + -2

Add

-21

Use substitution to solve the system of equations.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

C (let me know if I am wrong!)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation.

If 5x+y = -24, then -24 - 5x = y.

x+ 3(-24-5x) = -2

= -14x-72=-2

= -14x-72+72=-2+72

= -14x=70

= -5

If x = -5, then -5 + 3y = -2.

3y = -2+5

3y = 3

y=1

So the answer is C.
