Answer:
w= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.
L= 2w - 5
I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.
L = 2(6) - 5
L = 12-5
L = 7
Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.
7(2)= 14
Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.
26 - 14 = 12
Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.
12/2 = 6
I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 9y = 23
5x - 3y = -12x - 9y = 23
5x - 3y = -1
Answer:
4 Hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the rate of the machines 1/x, because every time they complete an order, it takes them x hours. To find x, we have to add the the rates of the individual machines, which would equal the rate of the machines working together. We know that there are four machines working together at the same rate, and it took them 32 hours.
So:
1/x + 1/x + 1/x + 1/x = 1/32
1/4x = 1/32
4x = 32
x = 8
Thus, the rate of the machines is 1/8.
Now we have to find the time of the order with only half of the machines working together. This time, we don't know the combined rate, so I'll substitute it for y.
1/8 + 1/8 = 1/y
1/4 = 1/y
y = 4
The time taken to complete it is 4 hours.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>For old circular garden:</u>
take the radius as r.
then use the formula to find area of circle: πr² ......this is old garden area.
<u>For new enlarged garden:</u>
the radius is twice the old radius so, radius = 2 * r = 2r ......enlarged radius
now find area for this new garden: π(2r)² → 4πr²
In common fractions: (old garden)/(new garden)
: ( πr² ) / ( 4πr² )
: 1/4
Answer:
4(7+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
28 and 12 are both divisible by 4.
28 ÷ 4 = 7
12 ÷ 4 = 3
