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!

Write the pair of fractions as a pair of fractions with a common denominator
Dmitriy789 [7]

I'll do the first two problems to get you started

Problem 1

1/2 = 3/6

1/3 = 2/6

For the first fraction, I multiplied top and bottom by 3. Note how 3 is the denominator of the second fraction.

For the second fraction, I multiplied top and bottom by 2. Note how 2 is the denominator of the first fraction.

===============================================

Problem 2

1/2 = 5/10

3/5 = 6/10

Like with problem 1, I multiplied top and bottom of the first fraction by the value 5 which is the denominator of the second fraction. Likewise, I did the same for the second fraction using the first denominator. The steps are essentially the same, but the numbers are different.

Problem 3 will be handled the same way. I'll let you try it out.

Write and equation of the line perpendicular to the given line that contains P
Artyom0805 [142]
If slope of a line is m then slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m .
so slope of perpendicular line is -3.
then use this  y-y0=m(x-x0)
y+5=-3(x-2)
y+5=-3x+6
y=-3x+1
