Rectangle:
P = 2 (L+W) but length is 2 meters longer than wide
then L = W + 2, So
P = 2 (L + W)
24 = 2(W+2+W)
24 = 2 (2 + 2W)
24 = 4 + 4W
So 4W = 24 -4 =20
W = 20/4= 5, L = 5+2= 7

Double check
24 = 2*(5+7) = 2 *12 = 24

Answer:

the width of the rectangle is, 5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter(P) of the rectangle is given by:

P = 2(l+w)                  ....[1]

where,

l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equipment storage room where she works.

The room is 2 meters long than it is wide. its perimeter is 24 meters.

then;

l = w+2

P = 24 meter

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

24 = 2(w+2+w)

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

12 = 2w+2

Subtract 2 from both sides we have;

10 = 2w

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

5 = w

or

w = 5 meters

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is, 5 meters

What is the simplified form of 30 times x to the sixth power over 14 times y to the fifth power times the fraction 7 times y-squ
Sonbull [250]
If we convert the given in its mathematical form, we have,

                      (30x⁶/14y⁵)(7y²/6x⁴)
It can be observed that the numerator of the first and the denominator of the second have a common factor of 6x⁴. Also, the denominator of the first and the numerator of the second expression have a common factor of 7y².

                      ((6x⁴)(5x²)/(7y²)(2y³))(7y²/6x⁴)

Cancellation of the common terms will give us an answer of,
  
                               <em>5x²/2y³

</em>
<em />Therefore, the simplified version of the involved operation is 5x²/2y³. <em>

Prove that: 16sin20.sin40.sin60.sin80=3​
olga nikolaevna [1]

to prove that 6720. Sin 40. Sin 60. 80 equals 3 you'd have to divide 16 by 20 multiply subtract both sides by 3 which is 24x + 6x + 8x + -14 equals 40 40 + 20 equals 16 - -40 equals 80 which equals to 3

I will give brainlist please someone help!!!​
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate angles are congruent.

7x - 9 = 3x + 15               {Subtract 3x form both sides}

7x - 3x -9 = 15

      4x - 9=15            {Add 9 to both sides}

           4x = 15+9

           4x = 24

           x = 24/4

x = 6

Ralph buys a desk that regularly sells for $250 and a desk chair that regularly sells for $145. both items are on sale at 15% of
Lunna [17]
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.

Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395.  We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85.  We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00.  Altogether this gives us 
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%.  This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
