----------------------------------
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

Look at the graph below measuring the speed of a truck and answers the following 2 question.
NemiM [27]
X would be equal to time and y be equal to distance

The y axis would be measuring distance and the x axis would be measuring time. Another name for a speed graph is the distance time graph. The y axis would be measuring the distance covered by the truck in meters and the x axis would be for the time it takes to reach that distance in second.



B) 2-6 would represent contact motion, meaning the vehicle is at rest. The time would be increasing from 2-6 to however the distance remains the same which is 20m

Which justification describes the process?
tester [92]

Answer:

Option 1 - Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, 2 is subtracted from both sides of the equation.          

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Process

Step 1: 4x + 2 = 10

Step 2: 4x = 8

To find : Which justification describes the process?

Solution :

From step 1 to step 2, we subtract 2 both sides

Step 1: 4x + 2 = 10

Subtracting 2 both side,

⇒ 4x + 2-2 = 10-2

Step 2: 4x = 8

So, The best justification is 'Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, 2 is subtracted from both sides of the equation'.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.
