Well x=1 always unless it tells you other wise so 1+0.5 would equal 1.5 and so after that you keep adding so 1.5 + 0.5 equal 2 so you keep taking the previous answer and adding 0.5 to it
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to isolate x
14 - x = 5
subtract 14 from 5
-x = -9
multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive
x = 9
Answer:
-31 1/3 (answer choice 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's begin by eliminating the fractions. Mult. all four terms by the LCD (8), obtaining:
-f - 6 - 2f = 88. Then -3f = 94, and f = -31 1/3
The sum of length and width is half the perimeter, so is (70 in)/2 = 35 in. Since this is the sum of length and width, if we add 5 inches, it will be twice the length. That is ...
... length + width = 35 in
... length + (width + 5 in) = (35 in) + (5 in)
... 2×length = (35 in) + (5 in) = 40 in
The length of the rectangle is 20 inches.
