Answer:

w= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.

L= 2w - 5

I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.

L = 2(6) - 5

L = 12-5

L = 7

Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.

7(2)= 14

Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.

26 - 14 = 12

Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.

12/2 = 6

I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)

7 times as much as the sum of 1/3 and 4/5
Jet001 [13]
First of all, you add 1/3 and 4/5, so you get:
\frac{1}{3} +  \frac{4}{5}

To add 2 fractions, they need to have the same denominator. Since 3 and 5 don't have a common factor, so you multiply 1/3 by 5, and 4/5 by 3, so you get:
\frac{1*5}{3*5} +  \frac{4*3}{5*3}
\frac{5}{15} +  \frac{12}{15}

Now, the two fractions got the same denominator, and you can add them by adding the numerators over the same denominator. (You don't add denominators in addition) so you get:
\frac{5+12}{15}
\frac{17}{15}

That's the sum of 1/3 + 4/5.

Now, they want the sum of the 2 fractions 7 times. So you multiply 17/15 by 7. And as you know, 7 = 7/1. So you get:
\frac{17}{15} *  \frac{7}{1}

In multiplication no need to have the same denominator. You multiply nominators by nominators and denominators by denominators. So you get:
\frac{17*7}{15*1}
\frac{119}{15}

Since 119 and 15 don't have a common factor, so they can't be simplified.
So, the answer is 119/15. 

Hope this Helps! :D

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h2>x = 3 and x = 4 → (3, 0) and (4, 0)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{x-intercept is for y = 0}.\\\\\text{We have the function:}\ y=x^2-7x+12.\\\\\text{Put y = 0 and calculate the value(s) of x.}\\\\x^2-7x+12=0\\\\x^2-3x-4x+12=0\\\\x(x-3)-4(x-3)=0\\\\(x-3)(x-4)=0\iff x-3=0\ \vee\ x-4=0\\\\x-3=0\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\boxed{x=3}\\\\x-4=0\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\boxed{x=4}

What are three collinear points in the figure below?
algol [13]

Answer:

B. W,V,Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Collinear points are two more points in the same plane that lie in a straight line.

From the diagram, Z is the intersection of the two diagonals of quadrilateral VXWY.

The points V, Z and W lie along the same diagonal, hence they are collinear.

The point y, Z, and X also lie along the same diagonal, these are also collinear.

The correct choice is B
