The length of a rectangle is three centimeters more than twice the width. The perimeter is 78 centimeters. Define a variable and

write and solve an equation to find out how long and wide the rectangle is?
I need to find the length? how?

L = 2w + 3
The perimeter equation is:
2L + 2W = 78
Put what L equals in to find w:
2(2w + 3) + 2w = 78
6w + 6 = 78 ( I did a short cut)
6w = 72
6w/6 = 72/6
W = 12
At this point, put width back into the first equation to find the length
L = 2(12) + 3
L = 27

What figure will result when the triangle is rotated around RE?

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The figure will result is cone ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>When a </em><em>right triangle is rotated about its vertical leg 360°</em><em>, then it formed </em><em>a cone</em><em> its radius is the horizontal leg of the triangle and its height is the vertical lege of the triangle</em>

<em />

In the given figure

∵ Triangle TRE is a right triangle

∴ The horizontal leg is RE

∴ The vertical leg is TR

∵ The triangle is rotated around the horizontal leg RE 360°

∴ It formed a cone its radius = TR and its height = RE

∴ The figure will result is the cone

What is the y-coordinate of the solution for the system of equations? x−y=−11 y+7=−2x

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$y= 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

$x-y=-11$

$y+7=-2x$

In order to find the y coordinate of the solution we must first find the solution to this system of equations. We first start by solving one of the given equations and then substitute the answer of that into the second equation and further solve to get the final answers.

$x=y=-11$

$y+7=-2x$

$y+7=-2x$

$+ -7$

$y = -2x - 7$

$x - y = -11$

$y = -2x-7$

$x-(-2x-7)=-11$

$x--2x=x+2x=3x$

$3x+7=-11$

$-7$

$-11+-7=-18$

$3x=-18$

$\div3$

$-18\div3=-6$

$x=-6$

$y=-2x-7$

$y=(-2)(-6)-7$

$-2\times-6=12-7=5$

$y=5$

Hope this helps.
