Answer:

Width is 10  Length is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 60

Length = W + 10

P = 2L + 2W                      Write the equation for perimeter

60 = 2(W + 10) + 2W         Substitute your variables

60 = 4W + 20

- 20          - 20                Subtract 20 from both sides

40 = 4W                        Divide both sides by 4

10 = W

Answer:

width is 10 and length is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>find the length and width</u></h2><h3>perimeter of a rectangle is = 2*length + 2*width</h3>

lets give length and with a variable

length = l

width = w

hence perimeter formula is 2l +2 w

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60. The length is 10 more than the width.

<h3><u>hence this statement helps us to create 2 formulas</u></h3>

l = w + 10

and

2l + 2w = 60

<h3><u>finding w </u></h3>

we can make use of the substitution method. where l is in the second formula place w+ 10 there.

2(w + 10 )+2w = 60

2w + 20  +2w = 60

4w + 20 = 60

4w = 60-20

4w = 40

<u>w = 10 </u>

<u></u>

<h3><u>now we can find l</u></h3>

place the value of w into the first formula so we can find l

l = 10 +10

<u>l = 20</u>

<u></u>

hence this shows that the <u>width is 10 and length is 20 </u>

Question: "If y &gt; 3, what is the value of n ?"
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

y-3

Problem:

What is the remainder when the dividend is xy-3, the divisor is y, and the quotient is x-1. ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend=quotient×divisor+remainder

So we have

xy-3=(x-1)×(y)+remainder

xy-3=(xy-y)+remainder *distributive property

Now we just need to figure out what polynomial goes in for the remainder so this will be a true identity.

We need to get rid of minus y so we need plus y in the remainder.

We also need minus 3 in the remainder.

So the remainder is y-3.

Let's try it out:

xy-3=(xy-y)+remainder

xy-3=(xy-y)+(y-3)

xy-3=xy-3 is what we wanted so we are done here.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -8) and has slope -2?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of -2 means the slope is -2/1

from (3, - 8) you can find the y intercept by going backwords until x = 0

(2,-6)

(1,-4)

(0,-2)

so the y intercept is -2

y = -2x - 2

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Andres has 12 stars.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 3 stars - 1 goal
  • -3/4 stars - Missed goal
  • Scored 5
  • Missed 4

3 * 5 = 15

He has 15 stars but then misses 4 goals.

3/4 * 4 = 3

He loses 3 stars becuase he missed 4 goals.

15 - 3 = 12

He ends with 12 stars.
