Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P = perimeter = 114
P =2 * length +2* width
P = 2(2x - 3) + 2(x)
114 = 4x-6 + 2x
114 = 6x -6
19 = x -1
20 = x
check it
2( 2x -3)+2x = ?
4x -6 +2x=?
6x -6 = ?
6(20)-6 =?
120-6 = 114
yep this is correct
There is a very simple way of dealing with percentages.
"increase" means add
"decrease/discount/reduce" means subtract
Now, we know that the original price is 100%.
100% = 1 (like 50% = 0.5)
So if an object's price is x and it is 20% off, we get:
100%x - 20%x
Taking x common,
x(100% - 20%)
= 0.8x
Therefore, if we fist add/subtract the percentages we can multiply directly with the original to get the answer. This is as follows:
5] Increase 101 by 16%
1 + 0.16 = 1.16
So the answer is:
101 * 1.16
= 117.16
6] Decrease 36 by 21%
1 - 0.21 = 0.79
The answer is:
36 * 0.79
= 28.44
7] Let original price be x, we know it is 35% off
1 - 0.35
= 0.65
0.65x = 13
x = 20

Answer:
n=2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(6n-30)=3/4(4-8n)
3n-15=3-6n
9n=18
n=2
