Answer:

Length and the width of the rectangle is 15.5 inches and 8.5 inches respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length = 7 inches + Width

=> P = 48 inches

=> L = (7 + W) inches............. (1)

Perimeter 'P' is the sum of all sides of the rectangle 2 (L + W)

∴ 48 inches = 2 (L + W) .................(2)

Substitute for L in equation (2)

∴ 48 inches = 2 [(7 + W) + W]

48 = 2[7 + 2W]

48 = 14 +4W

48 - 14 = 4W

34 = 4W

W = 8.5 inches

Recall that: Length, L = (7 + W)

∴ L = (7 + 8.5)

L = 15.5 inches

Answer:

Width = 8.5 inches

Length = 15.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = W

Length = 7 + W

Perimeter = 2(Length) + 2(Width)

Substitute

48 = 2(7 + W) + 2(W)

Multiply

48 = 14 + 2W + 2W

Add

48 = 14 + 4W

Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation

34 = 4W

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

W = 8.5

Width = 8.5 inches

Length = 7 + Width = 7 + 8.5 = 15.5 inches

Hope this helps :)

Find an equation of variation in which y varies jointly as x and z and inversely as the product of w and​ p, where yequalsstartf
leva [86]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that y varies jointly as x and z and inversely as the product of w and​ p. Therefore, you can write the following equation, where k is the constant of proportionality:

y=k(\frac{xz}{wp} )

2. Now, you must solve for the constant of proportionality, as following:

k=\frac{ywp}{xz}

3. Susbtiute values:

y=\frac{7}{28} \\ x=7\\ z=4\\ w=7\\ p=8

k=\frac{(\frac{7}{28})(7)(8))}{(7)(4)}  =0.5

4. Substitute the value of the constant of proportionality into the equation:

y=0.5(\frac{xz}{wp})

The answer is: y=0.5(\frac{xz}{wp})

if a rug was 5 times as long as thia record sheet, how long would it be? measure the length of this record sheet in centimeters.
vlada-n [284]

<u>Answer: </u>

If a rug was 5 times as long as this record sheet. The length of this record sheet in centimeters is 100x centimeter

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that a rug was 5 times than the record sheet.

Let assume the length of the record sheet = x units

Then from given information,

Length of the rug = 5x units

Conversion of measure of record sheet in centimeter completely depends upon in which unit the length is given.

Suppose the given length is in meters, than need to multiply the given length by 100 to get the length in centimeter that is

x meter = x \times 100 = 100x cm

Conversion factor will change accordingly to the unit of given length which needs to be convert into centimeter.

Given the function g(x)=3x-7, determine when g(x)=-4
sp2606 [1]

You have the following function:

g(x) = 3x - 7

In order to determine th value of x when g(x) = -4, you equal the previous expression to -4 and solve for x, just as follow:

g(x) = 3x - 7 replace g(x) = -4

-4 = 3x - 7 add 7 both sides

-4 + 7 = 3x simplify

3 = 3x divide by 3 both sides

3/3 = x

x = 1

Hence, the anser is x = 1
