24=3x+3x+x+x add like terms
24=8x divide by 8
3÷x
plug I'm 3 for x
3×3=9 so length is 9
and width is 3

In this question the main information's are already provided. Based on them the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Let us assume the width of the poster = x
Then the length of the rectangle = 3x
The perimeter of the rectangle = 24 inches
we already know
Perimeter = 2 ( Length + width)
24 = 2( 3x + x)
24 = 2 * 4x
24 = 8x
x = 24/8
= 3
So the width of the rectangle is 3 inches
Length of the rectangle = 3x
= 3 * 3
= 9
So the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

Peg and Larry purchased “no contract” cell phones. Pegs phone costs $25 plus $0.25 per minute. Larry’s phone cost $35 plus $0.20

marissa [1.9K]

Let x be the number of minutes Peg and Larry used their phones. So their costs can be written as:

Cost of Peg's Phone usage = 25 + 0.25x
Cost of Larry's Phone usage = 35 + 0.20x

We are to find when the Peg's phone will be more than Larry's phone. We can set up the inequality as:

25 + 0.25x > 35 + 0.20x

Re-arranging the inequality

0.25x - 0.20x > 35 - 25

0.05x > 10

x > 10/0.05

x > 200

Thus, Pag's phone will cost more if the number of minutes of phone usage is more than 200

The temperature of the sun is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. Use scientific notation to express the temperature.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know million has 6 zeros.

So, 1 million would be written as:

1,000,000

Similarly, 27 million would be written as:

27,000,000

We know writing a number in scientific notation would make this a decimal in 1 decimal place, so we would select "2.7" as the base of the scientific number.

Now, how many places to the right do we need to go (in 2.7) to make it 27,000,000?

Counting, we see: 7 places

So, power of 10 would be "7", thus we can write:

$2.7*10^7$

Answer choice A is right

Suppose $600 is compounded yearly for 20 years. If no other deposits are made, what rate is needed for the balance to triple in

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

5.65%

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal=$600

Time=20 years

FV=600*3=$1800

n=1

r=?

r= n[(A/P)^1/nt - 1]

=1{(1800/600)^ 1/1*20 - 1}

={(3)^1/20-1}

=3^0.05-1

=1.0565-1

=0.0565

rate=0.0565*100

=5.65% to the nearest hundredth percent
