Since length is 3 less than 1/3 width, set up equation l=(1/3)w-3. Because P=2(l+w), substitute l with the euation and get P=2(4/3w-3)

Let

y----------> the length side of the rectangle

x-----------> the width side of the rectangle

we know that

the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

P=2x+2y --------> equation 1

y=\frac{x}{3}-3 --------> equation 2

substitute equation 2 in equation 1

P=2x+2[\frac{x}{3}-3]\\ \\P=2x+ \frac{2x}{3}-6 \\ \\P=(\frac{8x}{3}-6)\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

P=(\frac{8x}{3}-6)\ units

If three times the larger of two numbers is four times the smaller and the difference between the numbers is 8, then the larger
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Larger number = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Larger number = y

y - x = 8    -----------(I)

3y = 4x  ---------------(II)

3y/4 = x

Plug in x = 3y/4 in equation (I)

y - \frac{3}{4}y = 8\\\\\frac{4}{4}y - \frac{3}{4}y = 8\\\\\frac{1}{4}y = 8\\

 y = 8*4

  y = 32

Plug in y = 32 in equation (II)

3y = 4x

3*32 = 4x

4x = 3*32

x = \frac{3*32}{4}

x = 3 *8

x = 24

Different shapes are drawn on cards and then the cards are placed in a bag. The number of cards for each shape is shown in the t
Anvisha [2.4K]
We can first add up the cards so we know how many we have in all:
16 + 16 + 18 = 50 cards

We can do this a little bit easier if we get the "16"-cards in one number total.

16 + 16 = 32

\frac{32}{50} = 32 x 2 = \frac{64}{100}
                                         50 x 2 

\frac{64}{100} = 64 : 2 = 32 %
                                            100
We did just divide the % of two types cards on 2, so we get the %-chance of 1 type card.

I am not quite sure, but I think that 32 % is the correct answer.
