Answer:

B. 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle shares two pairs of congruent opposite sides.

Perimeter = 42

Let:

the length of the rectangle = <em>l</em>

the width of the rectangle = <em>w</em> = 6

Perimeter = <em>l </em>+ <em>l </em>+ <em>w</em> + <em>w</em>

Plug in 42 for perimeter &  6 for w in the equation:

42 = <em> l </em> + <em> l</em> + 6 + 6

Combine like terms:

42 = (<em> l </em> + <em> l </em>) + (6 + 6)

42 = 2<em>l</em> + 12

Next, isolate the variable, <em>l</em>. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.  First, subtract 12 from both sides:

42 (-12) = 2<em>l</em> + 12 (-12)

42 - 12 = 2<em>l</em>

30 = 2<em>l</em>

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(30)/2 = (2<em>l</em>)/2

<em>l</em> = 30/2

<em>l</em> = 15

B. 15 inches is the length of the rectangle.

Check:

<em>l </em>+ <em>l</em> + <em>w </em>+ <em>w </em>= 42

15 + 15 + 6 + 6 = 42

30 + 12 = 42

42 = 42 (True).

Answer: ln ( 40) *100

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting 140 in the equation,

140 = 100 + e^(.01q)

40 = e^(.01q)

Take the natural log of bot hsides

ln ( 40) = .01q

q= ln ( 40 ) * 100

Answer:

Option c. $2,250

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The minimum household income needed for the given budget, must be equal at least to the sum of all categories values of the monthly budget

so

Find the sum of all categories values

\$1,100+\$500+\$100+\$100+\$150+\$100+\$50+\$150=\$2,250

therefore

The minimum household income needed for this budget is $2,250

Answer:

53

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{sin(56)}{78.6}  =  \frac{sin(90)}{ab}  \\  \\ absin(56) = sin(90) \times 78.6 \\  \\ ab =  \frac{sin(90) \times 78.6}{sin(56)}  \\ ab = 94.8 \\  \\  {x}^{2}   +  {78.6}^{2}  =  {94.8}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  =  {94.8}^{2}  -  {78.6}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 8987.04 - 6177.96 \\  {x}^{2}  = 2809.08 \\ x =  \sqrt{2809.08}  \\ x = 53

Xian and his cousin kai both collect stamps. Xian has 52 stamps, and kai has 76 stamps. The boys recently joined different stamp
Darya [45]

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Xian has 52 stamps and Kai has 76 stamps.

Xian's club will send him 16 new stamps per month and Kai's club will send him 12 new stamps per month.

Suppose, Xian and Kai will have the same number of stamps after x months.

So, the total number of new stamps for Xian = 16x and the total number of new stamps for Kai = 12x

So, the equation will be......

52+16x=76+12x\\ \\ 16x-12x=76-52\\ \\ 4x= 24\\ \\ x=6

Thus, Xian and Kai will have the same number of stamps after 6 months.

The number of stamps for each of them will be: 52+16(6)=148
