The perimeter in this case is:

2L+2W = 840

and the problem says that:

L = 3W-60 Substitute for L in the formula above:

2(3W-60)+2W = 840

6W-120+2W= 840 Add 120 on both sides and add W on left:

8W = 960 Divide both sides by 8

W = 120 And the length L is:

L= 3W-60; L = 120(3)-60= 300

a rino can run at speeds about 28 miles per hour. what is that speed in feet per secsec, to the nearest whole number? (Remember
Solnce55 [7]

Remark

You can use  a method called unit analysis to solve this problem. You will use it many times in your education later on.

Solve

\dfrac{28 mile}{hour} *\dfrac{5280 feet}{mile}*\dfrac{1 hour}{60 min}*\dfrac{1 min}{60 sec}

Now sort out the numbers  in the numerator and those in the denominator and multiply them together.

<em><u>Numerator</u></em> 28 * 5280 * 1 * 1 = 147840

<em><u>Denominator:</u></em> 60 * 60 = 3600

Now divide the numerator by denominator

Answer = 147840 / 3600 = 41.1 Feet / second

28 miles per hour = 41.1 feet / second

Which figure can serve as a counterexample to the conjecture below?
noname [10]
When we say conjecture, in math, this is defined as a statement that appears to be true but is not yet proven. Now, the question asked for the counterexample, which means, the opposite of the given statement above. Rectangle, rhombus and square are considered parallelograms. Therefore, the figure that can serve as a counterexample to the conjecture given is the TRAPEZOID. The answer would be option D.

Solve for all valúes of x
malfutka [58]

Answer:

2x/(x+3) +3/(x-3) = 8/(x^2

[2x(x-3) +3(x+3)]\( x^2 - 9) =8/(x^2 -9)

2x^2 -6x +3x +9=8 (x^2 -9) /(x^2 -9)

2 x^2 -3x +9 -8=0

2 x^2 -3x +1 =0

2x^2 -2x -1x +1 =0

2x(x-1) -1(x-1)=0

(x-1)(2x-1)=0

either, or, 2x-1=0

x-1 =0 2x =1

x =1 x= 1/2

hence, x= 1, 1/2
