Answer:

Option A is correct

equation 2(x+14)=42 could be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of a rectangle (l) is 14 inches and perimeter of rectangle is 42 inches.

Perimeter(P)of a rectangle in inches is given by:

P= (2l+w) ; where l  is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle.

Substitute the value of  P=42 inches , w =x inches and l = 14 inches in the above formula we get;

42 = 2 \cdot (14+x)

Divide by 2 on both sides  we get;

21 = 14+x

On simplify, we get;

x = 21-14 = 7 inches

therefore, the width of the rectangle is, x = 7 inches

Check :

Substitute the value of x =7 in option A.

2(x+14) =42

2(7+14)=42

2\cdot 21 =42

42 = 42      

Hence, the only equation that could be used to find the width, x is,  2(x + 14) = 42

A. 2(x+14) = 42

(2x = 14
  x = 7

2(7) + 2(14) = 14 + 28 = 42)

Y is directly related to x and y is 81 when x is 27 the constant of.variation is
suter [353]

Answer:

The constant of variation is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

y=81

x=27

And y is directly related to x

y ∝ x

Here k is constant of variation

y=kx

k=\frac{y}{x}--------------(1)

Put the y and x value in equation 1.

k=\frac{81}{27}

k=3

So, the constant of variation is 3.

A grid shows the positions of a subway stop and your house. The subway stop is located at (7, -6) and your house is located at (
Yuri [45]

So the distance between subway stop and house is 19 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula will be used to calculate the distance between home and subway.

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of first point

and

(x2,y2) are the coordinates of second point

Given

(x1,y1) = (7, -6)

(x2,y2) = (-9,5)

Putting the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(-9-7)^2+(5-(-6))^2} \\=\sqrt{(-16)^2+(5+6)^2} \\=\sqrt{256+(11)^2}\\=\sqrt{256+121}\\=\sqrt{377}\\=19.41\ units

Rounding off to nearest unit gives us 19.

So the distance between subway stop and house is 19 units

Katherine and Shally had $288 altogether. Katherine gave 1/3 of her share to Shally and their father gave $68 to Shally. They no
erastova [34]
1/3 of $288 is $96 So, therefore Shally had $96 at first.
But They both didn't have the same amount of money after too because:
1/3 of $288 is $96 
$96 + $68 = $164     So Shally has $164

Now, $288 - $96 = $192.    So Katherine has $192

So therefore they did not have the same amount of money but 1/3 of $288 is $96
