How do I solve this using the system of equations?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

length: 16 m; width: 13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Write each of the statements as an equation. You know that the formula for the perimeter is ...

P = 2(L +W)

so one of your equations is this one with the value of P filled in:

• 2L + 2W = 58

The other equation expresses the relation between L and W:

• L = W +3 . . . . . . . . the length is 3 meters greater than the width

There are many ways to solve such a system of equations. Since you have an expression for L, it is convenient to substitute that into the first equation to get ...

2(W+3) +2W = 58

4W +6 = 58 . . . . . . . simplify

4W = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

W = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4

We can use the expression for L to find its value:

L = 13 +3 = 16

The length is 16 meters; the width is 13 meters.

Solve each proportion. <br> 8/x+9=2/x-3<br> Please show work.
emmainna [20.7K]


8/x+9-(2/x-3)=0

Step by step solution :


Step 1 :

2
Simplify —
x
Equation at the end of step 1 :

8 2
(— + 9) - (— - 3) = 0
x x
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

3 3 • x
3 = — = —————
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 - (3 • x) 2 - 3x
——————————— = ——————
x x
Equation at the end of step 2 :

8 (2 - 3x)
(— + 9) - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 3 :

8
Simplify —
x
Equation at the end of step 3 :

8 (2 - 3x)
(— + 9) - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 4 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

9 9 • x
9 = — = —————
1 x
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

8 + 9 • x 9x + 8
————————— = ——————
x x
Equation at the end of step 4 :

(9x + 8) (2 - 3x)
———————— - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 5 :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(9x+8) - ((2-3x)) 12x + 6
————————————————— = ———————
x x
Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

12x + 6 = 6 • (2x + 1)

Equation at the end of step 6 :

6 • (2x + 1)
———————————— = 0
x
Step 7 :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

6•(2x+1)
———————— • x = 0 • x
x
Now, on the left hand side, the x cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
6 • (2x+1) = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2 Solve : 6 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
