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!

Solve for x<br> 6/x^2+2x-15 +7/x+5 =2/x-3
timama [110]

Answer:

x = ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3))/(15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) (-1/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = -1/3 - 17/(3 (10700 - 45 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3))

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) = 2/x - 3

Bring 6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) together using the common denominator x^2 (x + 5). Bring 2/x - 3 together using the common denominator x:

(2 (x^3 - 4 x^2 + 3 x + 15))/(x^2 (x + 5)) = (2 - 3 x)/x

Cross multiply:

2 x (x^3 - 4 x^2 + 3 x + 15) = x^2 (2 - 3 x) (x + 5)

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

2 x^4 - 8 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 30 x = x^2 (2 - 3 x) (x + 5)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

2 x^4 - 8 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 30 x = -3 x^4 - 13 x^3 + 10 x^2

Subtract -3 x^4 - 13 x^3 + 10 x^2 from both sides:

5 x^4 + 5 x^3 - 4 x^2 + 30 x = 0

Factor x from the left hand side:

x (5 x^3 + 5 x^2 - 4 x + 30) = 0

Split into two equations:

x = 0 or 5 x^3 + 5 x^2 - 4 x + 30 = 0

Eliminate the quadratic term by substituting y = x + 1/3:

x = 0 or 30 - 4 (y - 1/3) + 5 (y - 1/3)^2 + 5 (y - 1/3)^3 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x = 0 or 5 y^3 - (17 y)/3 + 856/27 = 0

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 0 or y^3 - (17 y)/15 + 856/135 = 0

Change coordinates by substituting y = z + λ/z, where λ is a constant value that will be determined later:

x = 0 or 856/135 - 17/15 (z + λ/z) + (z + λ/z)^3 = 0

Multiply both sides by z^3 and collect in terms of z:

x = 0 or z^6 + z^4 (3 λ - 17/15) + (856 z^3)/135 + z^2 (3 λ^2 - (17 λ)/15) + λ^3 = 0

Substitute λ = 17/45 and then u = z^3, yielding a quadratic equation in the variable u:

x = 0 or u^2 + (856 u)/135 + 4913/91125 = 0

Find the positive solution to the quadratic equation:

x = 0 or u = 1/675 (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)

Substitute back for u = z^3:

x = 0 or z^3 = 1/675 (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)

Taking cube roots gives (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) times the third roots of unity:

x = 0 or z = (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) or z = -((-1)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3))/(3 5^(2/3)) or z = ((-1)^(2/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3))/(3 5^(2/3))

Substitute each value of z into y = z + 17/(45 z):

x = 0 or y = (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) - (17 (-1)^(2/3))/(3 (5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3)) or y = 17/3 ((-1)/(5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))))^(1/3) - ((-1)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3))/(3 5^(2/3)) or y = ((-1)^(2/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3))/(3 5^(2/3)) - 17/(3 (5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3))

Bring each solution to a common denominator and simplify:

x = 0 or y = ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3))/(15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) or y = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) ((-1)/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) or y = -(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) - 17/(3 (5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3))

Substitute back for x = y - 1/3:

x = 0 or x = 1/15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(-1/3) ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3)) - 1/3 or x = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) (-1/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = -1/3 - 1/3 5^(-2/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3) - 17/3 (5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(-1/3)

5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)) = 10700 - 45 sqrt(56235):

x = 0 or x = ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3))/(15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) (-1/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = -1/3 - (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) - 17/(3 (10700 - 45 sqrt(56235))^(1/3))

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) ⇒ 6/0^2 + (2 0 - 8)/(5 + 0) = ∞^~

2/x - 3 ⇒ 2/0 - 3 = ∞^~:

So this solution is incorrect

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) ≈ -3.83766

2/x - 3 ≈ -3.83766:

So this solution is correct

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) ≈ -2.44783 + 1.13439 i

2/x - 3 ≈ -2.44783 + 1.13439 i:

So this solution is correct

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) ≈ -2.44783 - 1.13439 i

2/x - 3 ≈ -2.44783 - 1.13439 i:

So this solution is correct

The solutions are:

Answer:  x = ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3))/(15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) (-1/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = -1/3 - 17/(3 (10700 - 45 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3))

ickets to the high school reunion cost $35 with a meal and $25 without a meal. The reunion committee sells 70 tickets for $2,250
Crank

Answer:

50 tickets with a meal and 20 tickets without a meal

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations. Group the information based on labels. All the amounts that have $ in it go with one equation and the number of tickets will be in the second equation.

I will let x represent with a meal and y will represent without a meal

35x + 25y = 2250

x + y = 70

I will solve using substitution, so I will solve for y in the second equation. To do this, I will subtract x from both sides.

x - x + y = 70 - x

y = 70 - x

Now I will substitute in for y in the first equation and solve for x.

35x + 25(70 - x) = 2250

35x + 1750 - 25x = 2250

10x + 1750 = 2250

10x + 1750 - 1750 = 2250 - 1750

10x = 500

10x/10 = 500/10

x = 50

Now I will solve for y. I will use the original second equation and substitute 50 in for x.

x + y = 70

50 + y = 70

50 - 50 + y = 70 -50

y = 20

50 tickets with a meal and 20 tickets without a meal
