The length of a rectangle is three more than twice the width. The perimeter is 96. What are the dimensions? ​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Width =15

Length =33

Step-by-step explanation:

Take width as x

And length as 2x+3

Perimeter as 96

Formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l+2w

X+×+2×+3+2×+3=96

6x+6=96

6x=96-6

6×=90

X=15

Width =x and x =15 so width =15 while length =33

a rectangle has a perimeter of 22 feet. the width is 5 feet less than the length. find the length and width of the rectangle​
alexira [117]

Answer:

the length is 8ft

the width is 3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

perimter= 22ft

let the length be x

width = x-5

Step two

the expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2L+2W

substituting our data

22= 2(x)+2(x-5)

open brackets

22=2x+2x-10

collect terms and solve for x

22+10=4x

32=4x

divide both sides by 4

x= 32/4

x= 8ft

the length is 8ft

the width = x-5= 8-5= 3ft

Graph the following inequality<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7x%20-%20y%20%5Cgeqslant%2014" id="TexFormula1" title="7x -
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

I can't exactly draw this out on this website, but I can tell you how to do it:

First, solve the inequality so it resembles a function:

7x - y ≥ 14

-y ≥ -7x + 14

y ≤ 7x - 14 (Both side multiply by -1)

Then, graph y = 7x - 14

  • Draw a straight line (Don't do the dotted lines because it's not > or <)
  • Here's a couple of points to get started: (0, -14), (1, -7)

Finally, because y is less than/equal to 7x - 14, shade in the area under/below the line(where the y-values are smaller).

<em>Hope it's helpful enough</em>
