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 the 21st term in the arithmetic sequence.<br> 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ...
NNADVOKAT [17]

The 21st term of the given arithmetic sequence is 83. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is applied to find the required value where n = 21.

<h3>What is the nth term of an arithmetic series?</h3>

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated by the formula

aₙ = a + (n - 1) · d

Here the first term is 'a' and the common difference is 'd'.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ....

So, the first term in the sequence is a = 3 and the common difference between the terms of the given sequence is d = 7 - 3 = 4.

Thus, the required 21st term in the sequence is

a₂₁ = 3 + (21 - 1) × 4

⇒ a₂₁ = 3 + 20 × 4

⇒ a₂₁  = 3 + 80

∴ a₂₁  = 83

So, the 21st term in the given arithmetic sequence is 83.

Which of the following equations describe the line shown below? check all that apply!​
Schach [20]

Answer:

B and E are the correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the slope formula of y₂₋y₁ / x₂₋x₁ you can find out that the slope is ₋7/4.

Next pick a point to put into point-slope form.

Point-slope form is y₋y₁ = m(x₋x₁) where y₁ and x₁ are a point on the graph and m is the slope.

Substitute both points into the formula (separately) to get B and E as your answers.

Hope this helps!
