Ok let us assume x= the width of the table top
the length is 4 times the width meaning we are multiplying 4 and the width
which is x
length = 4x
your first equation would be the following:
4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is
if you drew a rectangle it would help you understand the above.
this represents the perimeter of the tabletop because we know the width is x. if you drew the rectangle there wouldn't be 1 width. opposite to the width is another line. same with the length. the length is 4x again there are 2 because in a rectangle there are 2 sets of parallel lines. that is why your equation would be 4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is- you could simplify this equation and write:
10x= whatever the perimeter is
x basically means 1x but in math we generally don't write that because we tend to write most things in simplest for.
hope this helps :)
X+0.0825x=216.5
1.0825x=216.5
x=216.5 / 1.0825
x=200
Answer: C.) x=200
Answer:
-2m -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(3m+5)-(6+5m)
Distribute the minus sign
(3m+5)-6-5m
Combine like terms
3m -5m +5 -6
-2m -1
X - 4 +6 -x
x - x = -2
0 = -2
No solution
