Answer:

2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the perimeter of a reactangle= 2(l+b)

So,

2(l+b) = 10x+18

2(3x+4 + b) = 10x+18

Rearrange and solve

3x+4+b = 5x+9

b = 5x+9 - 3x - 4

b = 2x+5

Thus the measurement of the width = 2x+5

Hope this helps

iren2701 [21]

1200 = 100%
35% of 1200 = 420
1200 + 420 = 1620

There are 1620 students enrolled this year.

What is 4 6/8+11 1/3

aivan3 [116]

So 4 6/8= (32/4)+6/8=38/8
11 1/3=(33/3)+1/3=34/3
so 38/8+(34/3)

to add you must get the bottom number equall so

114/24+272/24=386/24=16 1/12

which of the following gives an equation of a line that passes through the point (6 over 5, -19 over 5) and is parallel to the l

victus00 [196]

One equation for this would be

$y = \frac{41}{16} x-\frac{55}{8}$

We start by finding the slope between the two points:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-12-\frac{-19}{5}}{-2-\frac{6}{5}}
\\
\\=(-12+\frac{19}{5}) \div (-2-\frac{6}{5})
\\
\\=(\frac{-60}{5}+\frac{19}{5}) \div (\frac{-10}{5}-\frac{6}{5})
\\
\\=\frac{-41}{5} \div \frac{-16}{5}=\frac{-41}{5} \times \frac{-5}{16}=\frac{41}{16}$

A line parallel to this one will have the same slope. We will use point-slope form to write our equation:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\
\\y-\frac{-19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}(x-\frac{6}{5})
\\
\\y+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}x- \frac{41}{16} \times \frac{6}{5}
\\
\\y+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}
\\
\\y+\frac{304}{80}=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}
\\
\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}-\frac{304}{80}
\\
\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{550}{80}
\\
\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{55}{8}$
