We can set up the width a X and, from the description the length would be 3X-1. The perimeter of a rectangle is determined by 2XL + 2Xw. Plugging into the equation 2(3X-1) + 2(X) = 118. Next distribute to get 6X-2 + 2X = 118. Combine like terms to get 8X = 120. Divide by 8 to get X = 15. The width is 15. The length is 3(15)-1 or 44. 88 +30 = 118
Wait it says ur in high school so u can't be over 30. that isn't possible. So what's the problem here? not good at math.
Answer:
-3 1/4 + 4 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 5y = -16 [Equation 1]
-x + 3y = 10 [Equation 2]
<u>Adding both equations</u>
- x - x - 5y + 3y = -16 + 10
- -2y = -6
- y = 3
- x - 5(3) = -16
- x - 15 = -16
- x = -1
<u>Solution</u> : (-1, 3)
