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)

You can discard the second and the fourth systems because they do not have the form established from the statement.

The first system produce an obvious result given that is represents an option that is always better than the other 5.5x will be lower than 7.5x + 10 for any positive value of x, and so there is no need to make any comparission.

The third system is

y = 7.5x and y = 5.5x + 10 which need to be solved to determine when one rate is more convenient than the other.

Answer: y = 7.5x and y = 5..5x + 10
