Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 84 cm

2*(length + width) = 84

2* (2x - 8 + x - 2) = 84

2*(2x + x - 8 - 2) = 84   {bring like terms together}

2*(3x - 10) = 84    {add/ subtract like terms}

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2*(3x-10)}{2}=\frac{84}{2}\\\\

3x - 10 = 42

3x - 10 +10 = 42 + 10   {add 10 to both sides}

3x = 52

Divide by 3,

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{52}{3}\\

x= 17 1/3

Length = 2x - 8

=2*\frac{52}{3}-8\\\\=\frac{104}{3}-\frac{8*3}{1*3}\\\\=\frac{104}{3}-\frac{24}{3}\\\\=\frac{104-24}{3}\\\\=\frac{80}{3}\\\\=26\frac{2}{3}

Quiana has 5 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre. Quiana has 30 text messages from Yolanda. Which equation ca
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

p=\frac{30}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Quiana has 5 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre, we also know that she actually has 30 text messages from Yolanda. In other words, 30 texts from Yolanda is 5 times more text messages than from Pierre.

Thus, if we call p the number of texts messages from Pierre we would have that

p=\frac{30}{5} (since 30 texts from Yolanda is 5 times more than p, we can divide by 5 to find p)

And if we solve this equation we would get that Quiana has 6 text messages from Pierre

Answer:

C. 33 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

to get the area of irregular polygon.

divide the area into two parts (see attached image)

total area = A1 + A2

where A = 1/2 base x height

total area = ( 1/2 * 6 * 8) + (1/2 * 6 * 3)

total area = 24 + 9

total area = 33 square feet.

therefore the answer is C. 33 square feet.
