Answer:
8. m=6
9. x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 8:
2m-6=m
-2m -2m (subtract 2m from both sides)
<u>-6</u>=<u>-m</u>
- - (divide both sides by the negative)
m=6
Question 9:
<u>8x</u>=<u>16 </u> (divide both sides of the equation by 8)
8 8
x=2

Answer:
Length = 10.435 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be l
Let the width be w
Since the length is 9 inches more than half the width.
Then;
L = 0.5w + 9
Perimeter of a rectangle is;
P = 2Lw
Thus;
P = 2w(0.5w + 9)
Since perimeter = 60
Then;
2w(0.5w + 9) = 60
w² + 18w = 60
w² + 18w - 60 = 0
From quadratic formula;
w ≈ 2.87 in
L = 0.5(2.87) + 9
L = 10.435 in
