Answer:

Width of the rectangle  = 15 inches

Length of the rectangle  = 25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle =  k inches

So, the length of the rectangle =   (2k -5) inches

Perimeter = 80 in

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (Length + Width)

⇒  80 = 2(k + (2k -5)

or 80 = 6k - 10

⇒ 6k = 80 + 10 = 90

or  k = 90 / 6

⇒ k = 15

So the width of the rectangle  = k  = 15 inches

And the length of the rectangle =  2k -5 = 2 x 25  - 5 = 25 inches

H = hrs she worked
p = phone calls she answered

h x 10 + p x .25 = maggies earnings

Part A
h x 10 + 60 x .25 = 115

Part B
h x 10 + 15 = 115 (multiplied 60 x .25)
h x10 = 100 (subtracted 15 from each side of the equation)
h = 10 (divided 10 into each side)

Part C
10 hrs

Hope this helps

If a car traveling at 75 mph west, changes its direction to east, does it accelerate?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Yes, that's right, a change in the direction of motion results in an acceleration even if the moving object neither sped up nor slowed down. That's because acceleration depends on the change in velocity and velocity is a vector quantity — one with both magnitude and direction.

Will says that in the number 8,184​, one 8 is 10 times as great as the other 8. Is he ​correct? Explain why or why not.
Vinil7 [7]
No he is not correct .
Break apart the number 8,184
You will get
8000 + 100 + 80 + 4

The numbers we are comparing are 8000 and 80

80 x 10 = 800

The number we are looking for is 8000

This makes the claim that one 8 is 10 times greater false as it is in fact 100 times as great.
