Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

x=length

(x/4)+1=width

P=2l+2w

62=2x + 2[(x/4)+1]

62=2x + 1/2x + 2

multiply both sides by 2

124=4x+x+4

5×=120

x=24

length: 24 inches

width: 7 inches

hope this helps!!

It is

24x - 30

The equation for area of a trapezoid is

\frac{1}{2} (a + b) \times h

Substituting our values in

\frac{1}{2} (3x + 7 + 5x - 3) \times 6

We can then simplify the expression

\frac{1}{2} (8x - 10) \times 6 \\ (4x - 5) \times 6 \\ 24x - 30

Alchen [17]
The rate a computer works is 1/time. Working together, you add the rates.
Let new computer be x, old computer be y.
x = y - 7

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ \frac{1}{y-7}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ \frac{2y-7}{y(y-7)} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ y(y-7) = 13(2y-7) \\  \\ y^2-33y+91 = 0 \\  \\ y = 29.96 \\  \\ x = y-7 = 29.96-7 = 22.96
Rounded to nearest tenth gives:
x = 23 hours
