Length of a rectangle is 4 inches less than twice it’s width of the perimeter is 70 inches what’s the dimensions?

1 answer:

3 0

W= width
L= length= 2W-4
Perimeter= 70

FIND WIDTH:
P= 2(L + W)
P= 2L + 2W
substitute 2W-4 for L
70= 2(2W-4) + 2W
multiply 2 by all in parentheses
70= (2*2W) + (2*-4) + 2W
70= 4W - 8 + 2W
combine like terms
70= 6W - 8
add 8 to both sides
78= 6W
divide both sides by 6
13= W

FIND LENGTH:
substitute w=13 to find width
L= 2W-4
L= 2(13)-4
L= 26-4
L= 22

CHECK:
P= 2(L + W)
70= 2(22 + 13)
70= (2*22) + 2(13)
70= 44 + 26
70= 70

ANSWER:
length= 22 inches
width= 13 inches

Hope this helps! :)

NEED HELP WITH THESE QUESTIONS

amm1812

For this case we must solve the following questions:

Question 1:

We should simplify the following expression:

$\frac {\frac {m ^ 2 * n ^ 3} {p ^ 3}} {\frac {mp} {n ^ 2}} =$

Applying double C we have:

$\frac {m ^ 2 * n ^ 3 * n ^ 2} {mp * p ^ 3} =$

By definition of multiplication of powers of the same base we have to place the same base and add the exponents: $\frac {m ^ 2 * n ^ 5} {m * p ^ 4} =$

Canceling common terms:

$\frac {mn ^ 5} {p ^ 4}$

Answer:

Option A

Question 2:

We should simplify the following expression:

$\frac {3xyz ^ 2} {6y ^ 4} * \frac {2y} {xz ^ 4}$

So, we have:

$\frac {3xyz ^ 2 * 2y} {6y ^ 4 * xz ^ 4} =\\\frac {6xy ^ 2z ^ 2} {6y ^ 4xz ^ 4} =$

Simplifying common terms:

$\frac {1} {y ^ 2z ^ 2}$

Answer:

Option D

Question 3:

We factor the following expressions to rewrite the experience:

$r ^ 2 + 7r + 10$ : We look for two numbers that multiplied give 10 and added 7:

$(r + 5) (r + 2)$

$r ^ 2-5r-50:$ We look for two numbers that multiplied give -50 and added -5:

$(r-10) (r + 5)$

$3r-30 = 3 (r-10)$

Rewriting the given expression we have:

$\frac {(r + 5) (r + 2) * 3 (r-10)} {3 (r-10) (r + 5)} =$

We simplify common terms in the numerator and denominator we have:

$(r + 2)$

Answer:

Option D

What is the common factor of the numerator and denominator in the expression <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%282x%2

mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4)

What you are being asked to do is find the exact same binomial in the top as is in the bottom.

But there's a small catch. You must stipulate that x cannot equal 4. If it does, then you will get 0/0 which is undefined. You can't have that happening -- not at this level.

Any other value for x is fine.
