4a + 5 = 3(a - 7) + 2a
4a + 5 = 3a - 21 + 2a
4a + 5 = 5a -21
4a -5a = -21 -5
-a = -26
a = 26
It would help if you could specify what the area is in total, in order to find the perimeter with a variable.
Answer:
a.-2>-6
b. -2 is more closer to o and the farther you go from 0 the less value you have
c. City S is warmer because it is farther away from 0 on the number line and is more warmer!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.
