width = w

length = 2w - 5

Perimeter = 26

The formula for perimeter is:

P = l + l + w + w

Plug in corresponding values into this equation...

26 = (2w - 5) + (2w - 5) + w + w

Now you must solve for w

26 = 2w - 5 + 2w - 5 + w + w

Combine like terms

26 = 2w - 5 + 2w - 5 + w + w

26 = 6w - 5 - 5

26 = 6w - 10

Bring -10 to the other side by adding it to both sides

26 + 10 = 6w + (-10 + 10)

36 = 6w + 0

36 = 6w

Isolate w by dividing 6 to both sides

36/6 = 6w/6

6 = w

Width is 6 cm

To find length plug 6 in for w in the equation 2w - 5

2(6) - 5

12 - 5

7

Length is 7 cm

Hope this helped!

Three people play a game on each spinner in the previos problem.
arlik [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All other things being equal, spinner A is fine. It is a fair spinner.

Spinner B is not fair. Players 1 and 3 have only 1 number each. Player 2 on the other hand, has 2 numbers that work for him. If player 2 puts in two dollars and players 1 and 3 one dollar each, that should even up the odds. Now you want it just to be fair. So I think player 2 has to put up 2 dollars and players 1 and 3 each put up one. The pot is 4 dollars each time it is played.

Spinner 3 is not fair either. Player one has 2 chances. Player 2 has 3 chances and player 3 has but one chance. There are 6 chances in all. Player 1 should put up 2 dollars to play player 1 should put up 3 dollars and player 1 should put up 1 dollar.

**Ms. Gayle is driving to work. She travels 10 miles in 10 minutes. How fast is Ms. Gayle traveling?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Gayle drives 10 miles in just 10 minutes. To find out how fast she was going we need to turn the minutes into hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we multiply the miles and minutes by 60.

Ms. Gayle drives 60 miles in an hour.

This means she is traveling at 60 mph.

I hope that this helps! :)
