the length of a rectangle is 3 cm more than twice its width. Find the largest possible width if the perimeter is at most 66cm

Let the length be L

Let the width be W.

L is 3cm more than twice its width.

L = 2W + 3

P = 2*(L + W)

P = 2*(2W + 3 + W)

P = 2*(3W + 3)

P = 6W + 6

Since Perimeter is at most 66, so P is less than or equal to 66.

P ≤ 66

6W + 6 ≤ 66

6W ≤ 66 - 6

6W ≤ 60

W ≤ 60/6

W ≤ 10

So the largest possible width is 10cm.

Largest possible width is 10cm.

I hope this helped.

If you let the width be x, then the length will be 2x + 3. The perimeter P is twice the width plus twice the length, i.e., P = 2*x + 2*(2x + 3) = 2x + 4x + 6 = 6x + 6. So if the perimeter is 66 cm then 66 = 6x + 6 ---> 6x = 60 ---> x = 10 cm., and so if the perimeter is at most 66 cm., the width can be at most 10 cm..

vitfil [10]

To find the volume of a cylinder, you use this formula:
V = $\pi$ $r^{2}$ h

Plug in your numbers,
V = (3.14 * $8^{2}$ ) * 13

Exponents:
V = (3.14 * 64) * 13

Parentheses:
V = 200.96 * 13

Multiply:
V = $2612.48ft^{2}$

What’s the answer to X/2+21=36

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

x/2 + 21 = 36

First we get rid of constants to isolate the variable.

In order to do that we must do the inverse operation.

Inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

-21 -21(subtracting 21 from both sides, whatever we do to the left side we do it to the right side too)

x/2 = 15

inverse property of division is multiplication

x2 x2

X = 30

The expression 148 – 24d gives the number of pizzas a store has in stock, where d is the number of days. How many pizzas will th

Feliz [49]

Explanation

A function is defined as a relation between a set of inputs having one output each,in this case our independent variable is the number of days( d) and the dependent variable would be the number of pizzas

Step 1

let the function

$\begin{gathered} P=148-24d \\ where\text{ P is the number of pizzas } \\ and\text{ d is the number of days} \end{gathered}$

therefore, to know the number of pizzas are in the stock after 5 days we need to evaluate the equation for d=3

$\begin{gathered} P=148-24d \\ let\text{ d=5 and evaluate} \\ P=148-24(5) \\ P=148-120=28 \\ P=28 \end{gathered}$

so, after five day there willbe 28 pizzas in stock
