We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)

l = length

w = width

In our problem,

l = 5x

w = 5x - 4

Let's create an inequality to help us solve this problem.

2(5x + (5x - 4)) ≥ 96

Let's start off by simplifying the terms inside the parentheses.

2(10x - 4) ≥ 96

Distribute the 2

20x - 8 ≥ 96

Add 8 to both sides.

20x ≥ 104

Divide both sides by 20

x ≥ 5.2

Let's plug 5.2 into x for our length and width.

Length = 5x = 5(5.2) = 26 cm

Width = 5x - 4 = 5(5.2) - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22 cm

The smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle are, length = 26 cm and width = 22 cm

Answer:

width = 10 cm

length = 14 cm

The smallest dimension is 10 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2(x + 4) ≥ 48

Solve for x.

2x + 2x + 8 ≥ 48

4x + 8 ≥ 48

4x ≥ 40

 x ≥ 10

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break, a total distance of 290 miles.
vredina [299]

Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.

at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is

50t

Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is

45(6 - t)

Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that

50t + 45(6 - t) = 290

50t + 270 - 45t = 290

50t - 45t = 290 - 270

5t = 20

t = 20/5 = 4

At 45 miles per hour, she drove at

6 - 4 = 2 hours

125% because sixteen is equal to a whole which is equal to one-hundered and one fourth of sixteen is four and sixteen plus four is twenty. one fourth of one-hundered is twenty-five so you add the twenty-five to the one-hundered and you get 125%
