1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.

2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:

l = w + 6

3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:

24 = 2w + 2l

4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:

24 = 2w + 2l

if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)

24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )

24 = 4w + 12

12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)

w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)

w = 3 in.

5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :

l = w + 6

l = 3 + 6

l = 9 in.

6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.

Question 10: P=28cm

if l=8 and w=6

Then (8+6)=14
2(14) so 14x2 = 28
So therefore P=28cm

Plz explain how to do this!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to find the value of K, so to do that you need to get k by itself (example : K= 3-5 instead of K+5= 3)

So in 1a i would simplify 7k-3k= 4k

then 4k=11

now to get rid of the 4 and get the k alone- you DIVIDE 4k by 4 and divide 11 by 4 cause you need to do it on both sides of the equation, it should look like this.

4k= 11

-   =  -

4      4

(4k over 4 and 11 over four)

so the answer is k = 2.75  cause 11/4 = 2.75

Christine is putting money into a savings account. She starts with $650 in the savings account, and each week she adds $60. Let
TEA [102]

Total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks is $1310.

Total money in the account =

 Initial Money + Money added per week x Number of weeks

Given:

Initial Money = $650

Money added per week = $60

Total money in the account = S

Number of weeks = W

Substituting it in the above equation we get,

S = $650 + $60xW                                          (General Equation)

Total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks

S = $650 + $60x11

S = $650 + $660

S = $1310

Thus total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks is $1310.
