ANSWER: L=13; W=9
--Please read this explanation and this will be much easier for you, it took time to type..

Set up variables first. I will lead through how to get the answer.

First get variables. So, what is Perimeter? Perimeter is like so:

P = 2L + 2W = 44ft
Now instead of using P, we'll continue with

2L + 2W = 44 because this can be used to help answer the question better than P.

"Length of the patio is 5 ft less than twice the width"

So it says "length of the patio", so we put

L =

"5 ft less than twice the width"

L = 2W - 5

Now we know what L is, and we can plug this in to our first equation!

2L + 2W = 44
L = 2W - 5

Multiply by 2...
2L = 4W - 10

Plug in...
4W - 10 (2L see?) + 2W = 44

Rearrange...
4W + 2W - 10 = 44

And solve...
=6W - 10 = 44
=6W = 44 + 10
=6W = 54
=6W/6 = 54/6
=W = 9

Now we have W. Plug this into our other equation.

L = 2W - 5
L = 2*9 - 5
L = 18 - 5
L = 13

The length of the patio is 13 ft and the width of the patio is 9 ft.

BRAINLIESTT ASAP! PLEASE HELP ME :)

Let's say we placed dominoes close together such that they only fell over one way: to the right hand side. Let's call the dominoes A and B.

Domino A is to the left of domino B. If we push over domino A, then it will hit domino B to cause it to fall over as well. We have a mini chain reaction of sorts. The fall of A triggers the fall of B, but not the other way around.

For this problem, we can think of domino A as "Jillian gets a raise" and domino B as "she will buy a new car". The raise causes her to get a new car, but not vice versa.

Since we're told in the last sentence she definitely got the raise, this must mean she will definitely get the new car.

In terms of symbols, the law of detachment is stated as

  • If P, then Q
  • P is true
  • Therefore Q is true

Side note: some books might use the term "modus ponens" instead of "law of detachment". They're the same thing.
