The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all its sides. As a formula, this is
P = w + w + l + l = 2w + 2l = 2(w + l),
where P is perimeter, w is the width, and l is length.
Let's apply this formula to your question and substitute given information, then solve for l.
P = 2(w + l)
10x + 6 = 2(3x - 3 + l).
10x + 6 = 6x - 6 + 2l
4x +12 = 2l
l = 2x + 6
Answer:
11 13/15
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 2/3+b = 8 1/5
Add 3 2/3 to each side
-3 2/3 + 3 2/3+b = 8 1/5+ 3 2/3
b = 8 1/5 + 3 2/3
We need to get a common denominator of 15
8 1/5 = 8 3/15
3 2/3 = 3 10/15

What is your level at school? I want to help you through the answers
Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1
