Answer:

Length of the Rectangle = 10 inches

and  Width = 25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle  = k inches

So, the Length of the rectangle = (3k - 5) inches

Perimeter = 70 inches

Now, Perimeter of the Rectangle = 2(Length + Width)

= 2 (k + (3k-5))

⇒  2 (k + (3k-5))   = 70

or, 2(k + 3k -5) = 70   ⇒    2(4k - 5)  = 70

⇒ 8k - 10 = 70

or, 8k = 70+ 10 = 80

or, k = 80/8 = 10

So, the Length = 10 inches

Hence, Width = 3k - 5 = 3(10) - 5 = 30 - 5 = 25 inches

So, Length of the Rectangle = 10 inches

                            and  Width = 25 inches

Answer:

x > 0 and y < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the inverse of a function is simply, when the domain and range are swapped. So if the domain of g(x) is x < 2 and y > 0, then the inverse will have these swapped. So x > 0 and y < 2

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Hey there,
Length = 4x
Width = 3x
Perimeter = 112 inches
4x + 3x + 4x + 3x = 112 inches
14x = 112 inches
x = 112 inches / 14
   = 8 inches
Length = 8 inches x 4
            = 32 inches
Width = 8 inches x 3
          = 24 inches

 Hope this helps :))
