A rectangle is 5 cm wider than twice its length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 70 cm, then what is the area?

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangle are two unknowns: The length "l" and the width "w"

The perimeter of a rectangle is found as P = 2*l + 2*w

We also know that the length is 5cm more than twice the width. l = 2*w + 5

These two equations gives us a system of linear equations.

P = 2*l + 2*w

l = 2*w + 5

We can use substitution to replace the "l" in the first equation with 2*w + 5

P = 2*(2*w + 5) + 2*w

P = 4*w + 10 + 2*w

P = 6*w + 10

we know the perimeter is 70

70 = 6* w + 10

subtract 10 from both sides

60 = 6* w

w = 10

Now that we know the width, we can find the length by substituting 10 for "w" in the second equation.

l = 2* 10 + 5

l = 20 +5

l = 25

the dimentions of the rectangle are 25cm x 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract similar numbers:

2x - 14x = -12x

Product:

12 - 12x + 8

Group the terms that are similar:

-12x + 12 + 8

Add the numbers:

A trust fund worth $25,000 is invested in two different portfolios. This year, one portfolio is expected to earn 5.25% interest
solong [7]

Answer:

$12 000 in Portfolio 1 and $13 000 in Portfolio 2  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is  

I = Prt

For each portfolio, t = 1 yr

For Portfolio 1, i = 5.25 % = 0.0525

For Portfolio 2, i = 4 %       = 0.04

         Let x = amount invested in Portfolio 1. Then

25 000 - x = amount invested in Portfolio 2 and

\begin{array}{rcr}0.0525x + 0.04(25000- x) & = & 1150\\0.0525x+ 1000 - 0.04x & = & 1150\\0.0125x + 1000 & = & 1150\\0.0125x & = & 150\\x & = & 12000\\\end{array}

25 000 - x = 25 000 - 12 000 = 13 000

So, $12 000 is invested in Portfolio 1 and $13 000 is invested in Portfolio 2.

Check:

\begin{array}{rcl}0.0525 \times 12000 + 0.04(25000 - 12000)& = & 1150\\630 + 0.04(13000) & = & 1150\\630 + 520 & = & 1150\\1150 & = & 1150\\\end{array}

OK.

The probability of drawing 2 defective pieces one after the other on the first and second samples, without replacement, from a l
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The required probability is 0.004.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces = 50

Number of defective pieces = 5

So, we need to draw 2 defective pieces.

So, the probability of drawing 2 defective pieces one after the other on the first and second samples would be

\dfrac{5}{50}\times \dfrac{4}{49}\\\\=\dfrac{20}{2450}\\\\=0.004

Hence, the required probability is 0.004.
