Step-by-step explanation:
let number be x
16x = 14 + x
16x - x = 14
15x = 14
x = 14 ÷ 15
x = 0.9
Answer:
30 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of the rectangle, you first need to find the width and length of the rectangle:
54/9 = 6
L = 9
W = 6
The perimeter is 2lw:
The answer is 30 cm
To solve this, we combine like terms. Our equation becomes:
-2u + 13 = -5
Now to subtract both sides by 13 to find that:
-2u = -18
Finally, we divide both sides by the coefficient and find that:
u = 9
4x - y = 3
y = 2x + 13
Substitute the second equation into the first equation:
4x - y = 3 [since y = 2x + 13, you can substitute (2x + 13) for "y" in the equation]
4x - (2x + 13) = 3 Distribute/multiply - into (2x + 13)
4x - 2x - 13 = 3
2x - 13 = 3 Add 13 on both sides
2x = 16 Divide 2 on both sides
x = 8
Now that you know x = 8, plug it into one of the equations to find y
y = 2x + 13
y = 2(8) + 13
y = 16 + 13
y = 29
x = 8, y = 29 or (8, 29)
[proof]
4x - y = 3
4(8) - 29 = 3
32 - 29 = 3
3 = 3
y = 2x + 13
29 = 2(8) + 13
29 = 16 + 13
29 = 29
