If the perimeter of a rectangle is 38 inches how tall is it

1 answer:

7 0

P = 2l + 2w
38 = 2l + 2w 
l = w + 3 , (the length is 3 inches more than the width) 

then substitute w + 3 to l in 38 = 2l + 2w 

38 = 2(w + 3) + 2w 

38 = 2w + 6 + 2w 

38 = 4w + 6, then take away 6 from both sides 

32 = 4w, then divide both sides by 4 

w = 8 inches (width)

Solve the following system of equations by substitution 2x – 3y = -1 y = x - 1

Aliun [14]

Answer:

(4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in x - 1 where y is. The equation will turn in 2x - 3(x - 1) = -1. Distribute, and you'll have 2x -3x + 3 = -1. Combine like terms (2x and -3x) and you'll have -x + 3 = -1. Subtract 3 from both sides, and you'll have -x = -4. Divide by -x (or -1) on both sides, and you'll have x = 4. Since y = x - 1, y = 3, since 4 - 1 = 3. Sorry if this sounds repetitive btw. Good luck :D

Subtract the rational expression 1/x^2-x-6 - x/x+2.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - x -6 = x² + 2x - 3x - 3*2

=x(x + 2) - 3(x + 2)

= (x + 2 )(x - 3)

$\frac{1}{x^{2}-x-6}+\frac{x}{x+2}=\frac{1}{(x +2 )(x - 3)}-\frac{x}{x + 2}\\$
