2x + 2(x - 3) = 54
2x + 2x - 3 = 54
2x - 3 = 54

Let the length be x and the width be x - 3
Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(x + x - 3) = 54
2x + 2(x - 3) = 54

Answer:

$325

Step-by-step explanation

78% is 234

x is 100%

cross multiply

$\frac{234}{72}$ = $\frac{x}{100}$

234 × 100 = 72x

23400 = 72x

23400÷72 =72x ÷72

325 = x

(2x + 3y = 12) x (-2)
(4x - 3y = 6) x 1

-4x - 6y = -24
4x - 3y = 6

You can cancel out the x values by adding the two equations together.
(-4x + 4x) + (-6y - 3y) = (-24 + 6)
-9y = -18
y = 2

Solve for x now...
4x - 3(2) = 6
4x - 6 = 6
4x = 12
x = 3

Check... (x = 3, y = 2)
2(3) + 3(2) = 12
6 + 6 = 12
12 = 12 <- this works!

4(3) - 3(2) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 <- this works!

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find c!!!!

Troyanec [42]

A^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
36 + 8^2 = c^2
36 + 64 = c^2
100 = c^2
√100 = c
10 = c
