Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{125 \:  {cm}^{2} }}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be 'w'

Length of a rectangle = 5w

Perimeter of a rectangle = 60 cm

Area of a rectangle = ?

<u>First</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>width </u><u>'</u><u> </u><u>w</u><u> </u><u>'</u>

\boxed{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: a \: rectangle = 2(l + w)}}

plug the values

⇒\sf{60 = 2(5w + w)}

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{60 = 10w + 2w}

Collect like terms

⇒\sf{60 = 12w}

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒\sf{12w = 60}

Divide both sides of the equation by 12

⇒\sf{ \frac{12w}{12}  =  \frac{60}{12} }

Calculate

⇒\sf{w = 5} cm

<u>Finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>length</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>l</u><u> </u><u>)</u>

\sf{length = 5w}

Substitute the value of w

⇒\sf{length = 5 \times 5}

⇒\sf{length = 25 \: cm}

<u>Finally</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>Finding</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>area</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>rectangle</u><u> </u><u>having</u><u> </u><u>length</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>cm </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>width </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>cm</u>

\boxed{ \sf{area \: of \:  a \: rectangle = l \times b}}

plug the values

⇒\sf{area \:  =  \: 25 \times 5}

Multiply the numbers

⇒\sf{area \:  =  \: 125 \:  {cm}^{2} }

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

A number and it's absolute value are equal. If you subtract 2 from the number, the new number and it's absolute value are not eq
yaroslaw [1]
This means that the number is positive. 

The absolute value is the distance away from 0 the number is.

So 1's absolute value would be 1, yet -5's absolute value would be 5.

So the number that's equal to its absolute value is positive, and the one that's not is negative.

So if you subtract 2 from the positive number, it must turn negative.

So 1 is a number that satisfies these conditions.

Fifteen years later, a man will be two times as old as he was 15 years ago. How old is he now?
Inga [223]

Answer:

Let the present age of the man be x years.

Age of the man 15 years ago =(x−15) years and

Age of the man 15 years later =(x+15) years

According to the given condition, we have

(x+15)=2(x−15)

⇒x+15=2x−30

⇒x−2x=−30−15

⇒−x=−45 or x=45 years

Hence, the present age of the man is 45 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps you..

Your welcome in advance..

Write an expression that represents n plus 7 multiplied by 3.
diamong [38]
The <span>expression that represents n plus 7 multiplied by 3 is
(n + 7)(3)
The entire expression, (n + 7) is multiplied by 3 since it would be inconvenient to state the expression as given above if what is meant was
(n + 7x3). It would have simply been n plus 21.</span>
