Answer:

50 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

If W is the width and L is the length, then:

L = W + 5

2L + 2W = 30

Solve the system of equations with substitution or elimination. Using substitution:

2(W + 5) + 2W = 30

2W + 10 + 2W = 30

4W = 20

W = 5

L = 10

The area of the rectangle is:

A = LW

A = 50 ft²

2 less then 3 times a number is 9

Masteriza [31]

$\huge\boxed{\text{As an expression:}\ 3x-2=9}$

$\huge\boxed{\text{Solved for x:}\ x=\frac{11}{3}}$

Let's start with " $3$ times a number". We will use $x$ to represent the number. $3x$

" $2$ less than" is next. $-2$

Finally, "is $9$ ". $=9$

Put it all together to get an expression. $\boxed{3x-2=9}$

Now, let's solve for the unknown number.

Add $2$ on both sides of the equation. $3x=11$

Divide both sides of the equation by $3$ to isolate $x$ . $x=\boxed{\frac{11}{3}}$

How do you subtract 4 4/9 - 2 7/9=

Daniel [21]

You would need to turn 4 4/9 and 2 7/9 into mix numbers. This would leave you with 50/9 - 25/9. Since the denominators are the same you just need to subtract the numerators 50 - 25 = 25. So the answer is 25/9
