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)

The weight distribution of parcels sent in a certain manner is normal with mean value 17 lb and standard deviation 3.3 lb. The p
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: The value of c would be 26.514 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 17 lb

Standard deviation = 3.3 lb

At 99%  level of significance, z = 2.58

So, it becomes,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\2.58=\dfrac{X-17}{3.3}\\\\2.58\times 3.3=X-17\\\\8.514+17=X\\\\X=25.514

So, the weight c would be

c=25.514+1\\\\c=26.514

Hence, the value of c would be 26.514 lb.
