Perimeter is the sum of all sides of a shape. For a rectangle, it is the sum of the two lengths and two width measurements. We set up the equations as follows:

l = 2w - 3

P = 8l - 12

P = 2w + 2l
8l -12 = l - 3 + 2l
5l = 9
l = 9/5

9/5 = 2w - 3
w = 12/5

jasenka [17]

Answer:

A. x = 10 years

B. x = 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = 0.7(200 - x)

Where,

y = target heart rate in beats per minute

x = person's age in years

How old is a person with a target heart rate of 133 beats per minute?

y = 0.7(200 - x)

133 = 0.7(200 - x)

133 = 140 - 0.7x

133 - 140 = -0.7x

-7 = -07x

x = -7/-0.7

x = 10 years

B. How old is a person with a target heart rate of 126 beats per minute?

y = 0.7(200 - x)

126 = 140 - 0.7x

126 - 140 = -0.7x

-14 = -0.7x

x = -14/-0.7x

x = 20 years

<h3>A 5-hour flight takes 65 Gallons</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

2 hours=26 gallons or 2:26

We should simplify the ratio to see how many gallons an hour flight uses.

26÷2=13 or 13 gallons

1 hour=13 gallon

Now we see how much gas a 5-hour flight takes.

5x13=65

5 hours=65 gallons

Eric ran from school to the town monument and back again. On his way to the monument, he ran at 10kph and went back to school at
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Distance = 10 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours taken from school to town and y be the number of hours taken back to the school

Then distance covered during first trip would be 10x (distance = speed*time) and during the second trip would be 8y. Both distances are equal.

=> 10x = 8y  

Dividing both sides by 2

=> 5x = 4y

=> 5x-4y = 0   ------------------(1)

<u><em>The total time for both the trips is:</em></u>

=> x + y = 2.25 -------------------(2)

Multiplying eq (2) by 5

=> 5x+5y = 11.25  ---------------(3)

Subtacting (3) from (1)

=> 5x-4y-5x-5y = 0-11.25

=> -4y-5y = -11.25

=> -9y = -11.25

Dividing both sides by -9

=> y = 1.25 hrs

Putting in (2)

=> x + 1.25 = 2.25

=> x = 2.25 - 1.25

=> x = 1 hr

<u><em>Now, Calculating the Distance</em></u>

=> Distance = 10x

=> 10 ( 1 )

=> Distance = 10 km
