----------------------------------
Define x :
----------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5                // Length is 5ft longer than twice the width

----------------------------------
Formula for Perimeter :
----------------------------------
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

----------------------------------
Find Width :
----------------------------------
58 = 2 ( 2x + 5 + x)         // Substitute Length and Width into formula
58 = 2 (3x + 5)                // Combine like terms
58 = 6x + 10                    // Apply distributive property
48 = 6x                            // Take away 10 from both sides
6x = 48                            // Switch sides. Make x the subject
x = 8                                // Divide by 6 on both sides

----------------------------------
Find Length and Width :
----------------------------------
Width = x = 8 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(8) + 5 = 21 ft

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 21 ft and the width is 8 ft.

Length= 5+2x
Width = x

Perimeter = 2(l+w)=58
= 2(5+2x+x)=58
= 2(5+3x)=58
= 10+6x =58
= 6x= 48
X= 8
Width=8
Length= 21

Find the mean and mode for this set of data. 5,6,8,3,5,7,4,11,5,7
katrin [286]

The mode is what number occurs most often. So in this set, the number that occurs most often is 5.

Mode = 5

The mean is the average of all the numbers in the set. To find the average of numbers, you add them all up then divide by how many numbers there are in the set. 5 + 6 + 8 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 11 + 5 + 7 = 61. 61 divided by 10 = 6.1 The answer is 6.1

Mean = 6.1

Good luck, my guy!

I need to show the work. Please help
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

x=23

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles are equal so you can set 8x-77 and 3x+38 equal to each other and write it as:

8x-77=3x+38

Then you get like terms on the same sides by subtracting 3x from both sides and getting:

5x-77=38

Then you add 77 to both sides and get:

5x=115

Then you divide both sides by 5 and get x=23
