Alona [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Length = 11

Width = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length is x and the width is x - 5 since it is 5 less than the length.

The equation to find the perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2l

We will plug in the values and solve

2(x-5) + 2(x) = 34

2x - 10 + 2x = 34

4x - 10 = 34

4x = 44

x = 11

Since the length is simply x, we know that it is 11. We subtract 5 to find the width.

11 - 5 = 6.

The width is 6.

7 Given: -8(w + 1) = -5(w + 10); Prove: w = 14<br> Statements
LenKa [72]

Answer:

w=14

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(w + 1) = -5(w + 10)

Remove the parentheses

-8w-8+-5w-50

Move terms

-8w+5w=-50+8

Collect like terms and calculate

-3w=-42

Then divide on both sides

VMariaS [17]
Benny started with 55 five cards. In order for his dog to have eaten half his cards and end up with 30 cards, that would mean he had 60 cards. Mind you, he had bought 5 more the day before his dog ate them. I hope that makes sense

What is 10 squared plus b squared equals 22 squared
klio [65]
I'm pretty sure you are asking for the value of b. Let's actually write it and then solve it:
10^2 + b^2 = 22^2

Solving for b yields:
b = \sqrt{22^2-10^2} = \sqrt{484-100} = \sqrt{384} = 19.59

So, b = 19.59. If you want the answer in simplified radical form, we can also do that:
\sqrt{384} =  \sqrt{16*24} = 4 \sqrt{24} = 4 \sqrt{4*6} = 8 \sqrt{6}

So, b = 8√6 = 19.59
