Let us set up some variables:
Now let us set up some equations based on the facts:
- length of rectangle is 4 times its width --> L = 4W
- perimeter of rectangle is 80 --> 2L + 2W = 80
Equations:
L = 4W -- equation 1
2L + 2W = 80 -- equation 2
Plug the value of L from equation 1 into equation 2
2(4W) + 2W = 80
8W + 2W = 80
10W = 80
W = 8 -- equation 3
Plug the value of W from equation 3 into equation 1:
L = 4W = 4 * 8 = 32
Therefore the length is 32 and the width is 8.
Hope that helps!
0.04(30h) is the part of the expression that represents the amount of tax she must pay. This part shows that 0.04 (4%) is the tax rate, 30 is the amount of money needed to pay per hour (h). Taxes are a percentage of the actual price added on to the actual price, so that means that 30h is the actual price, 30 dollars an hour, and 0.04(30h0 are the taxes she has to pay.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The midsegment is half the sum of the parallel bases, that is
(3x + 3 + 4x + 2) = 13
(7x + 5) = 13 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
7x + 5 = 26 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
7x = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 3
