Answer:

The dimensions of the picture are 8 inches and 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>A rectangular picture has a length 4 inches longer than three times the width, so assume that the width of the rectangle is x.</em>

∵ The width of the rectangle = x inches

∵ Three times the width = 3 times x = 3x

∵ Four less than 3 times width = 3x - 4

∴ The length = 3x - 4 inches

<em>Perimeter (P) of a rectangle = 2 length + 2 width, then substitute the length and the width by their values above.</em>

∴ P = 2(x) + 2(3x - 4)

∵ P = 56 inches ⇒ given

∴ 56 = 2(x) + 2(3x - 4)

→ Simplify the right side

∵ 2(3x - 4) = 2(3x) - 2(4) = 6x - 8

∴ 56 = 2x + 6x - 8

→ Add the like terms in the right side

∴ 56 = (2x + 6x) - 8

∴ 56 = 8x - 8

→ Add 8 to both sides to move 8 from the right side to the left side

∴ 56 + 8 = 8x - 8 + 8

∴ 64 = 8x

→ Divide both sides by 8 to find x

∴ \frac{64}{8}=\frac{8x}{8}

∴ 8 = x

∵ x represents the width of the picture

∴ The width of the picture is 8 inches.

∵ 3x - 4 represents the length of the picture

∴ The length = 3(8) - 4 = 24 - 4 = 20

∴ The length of the picture is 20 inches.

Three women, Chantel, Marissa, and Qian, enjoy running laps around a circular track. Each women runs at a constant speed. It tak
lubasha [3.4K]

It takes 150 seconds for Qian to complete the track.

Let she runs the track in the clockwise direction.

In 60 seconds, she runs \frac{60}{150} = \frac{2}{5}th of the track.

Since she meets Marissa, who is running in the opposite (counter clockwise) direction in every 60 seconds, Marissa should have completed \frac{3}{5}th of the track.

Chantel meets Marissa in every 300 seconds.

So, in 60 seconds, she advances Marissa by \frac{1}{5}th of the track.

Hence, in 300 seconds, Qian, Marissa and Chantel all meets at the starting point.

ALITER;

Marissa meets Qian in every 60 seconds.

So, Marissa and Qian meet each other in 60th, 120th, 180th, 240th and 300th second.

But, it is given that Chantel meets Marissa in every 300 seconds.

So, in 300 seconds, Qian, Marissa and Chantel meet each other.

10 % off the regular price. what is the discount amount any price?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Not really 100% sure how to answer this, but if you would like to find the price of any item 10% off, you would just multiply the price by 0.9

EX: item cost $100

$100 x 0.9 = $90

Meaning the price of the item after the discount is applied would be $90
