Solve for x.<br><br> Please help quick!
dexar [7]
\dfrac{5}{2} =  \dfrac{x}{ \frac{1}{7} }

Cross Multiply:
2x = 5 \times \dfrac{1}{7}

Evaluate right side:
2x =  \dfrac{5}{7}

Divide by 2 on both sides:
x =  \dfrac{5}{7} \div 2

Change the divide fractions to multiplication fraction:
x =  \dfrac{5}{7} \times  \dfrac{1}{2}

Combine into single fraction:
x =  \dfrac{5}{14}

the length of a rectangle is four times its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 60cm, what is the area?
Inessa [10]

length = 4x

perimeter = 2(4x+x) = 60

10x = 60

x = 6

so, 4x = 24

Area would be: 24*6 = 144 cm²
