Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to consider the formula of the perimeter = 2·length + 2·width.

If we call "x" to the length ⇒ width = x + 12 .

Perimeter = 2x + 2·(x + 12) ⇒ Perimeter = 2x + 2x + 24

⇒Perimeter = 4x + 24. ⇒ 76 = 4x + 24 ⇒ 76 - 24 = 4x ⇒52 = 4x

⇒ 52/4 = x ⇒ x = 13.

So, the length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

What is the value of x in the equation 0.2(x 1) 0.5x = –0.3(x – 4)? negative seven-halves –1 1 seven-halves
Paraphin [41]

The value of the variable x equation 0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2 is x=1.

Given a linear equation 0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2

Equation is a combination between two or more variables which is usually expressed in equal to form. Equation of two variable looks like ax +by=c. It is solved to find the quantity of x.

Given equation is as under:

0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2

It is a linear equation and will have only 1 solution. Linear equation is a equation which is having a straight line graph.

Adding the coefficients of variable

0.7x+0.2=-0.3x+1.2

Take -0.3 to other side

0.7x+0.3x=1.2-0.2

Adding the coefficients of variables

x=1

Hence the value of x in the equation 0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2 is x=1.
