Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.
Answer:
-9/20
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first two terms, all you have to do is multiply the numerators and the denominators, and cancel out the negative, but because there is a -1 after that, the negative sign comes back, although the -1 doesn't really change the number.
Answer:
Approximately $594.38
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula: y = a(1 + r)^t
a is the initial amount
r is the percent of interest in decimal form
t is the time in years
y is the money after t years
Substitute the values given in the problem into the equation:
400(1+0.02)^20
Use a calculator or solve manually
Around 594.38
24 laps
1 hour = 60 minutes
4/10 x 60 = 24
