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

Carolyn was asked to solve the following system of equations. Her work is shown. What is the solution to the system of linear eq
Natalka [10]

Answer:

(11, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Carolyn's work is incorrect. Below is the correct solution:

Given:

3x - 2y = 7 ----› Equation 1

y = x + 2 -----› Equation 2

Substitute y = (x + 2) in equation 1

3x - 2y = 7 ----› Equation 1

3x - 2(x + 2) = 7 (substitution)

3x - 2(x) -2(+2) = 7 (distributive property)

[Note: this is where Carolyn made a mistake]

3x - 2x - 4 = 7

Collect like terms

x - 4 = 7

x = 7 + 4 (addition property of equality).

x = 11

Substitute x = 11 in equation 2

y = x + 2 -----› Equation 2

y = 11 + 2 (substitution)

y = 13

✅The solution to the system of equations would be:

C= m over 3 π d to the second power , for m
julia-pushkina [17]
Solve for m:C = 1/3 π d^2 m
C = 1/3 d^2 m π is equivalent to 1/3 d^2 m π = C:1/3 π d^2 m = C
Divide both sides by (π d^2)/3:Answer: m = (3 C)/(π d^2)
