Equation for Perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2W + 2L

<h3>Defining the variables, let</h3>

<h3>Width = x</h3><h3>Length = 2x+3 (3 more than twice the width)</h3>

<h3>Plugging everything into the equation</h3>

<h3>30= 2(x) + 2(2x+3) using the distributive property,</h3>

<h3>30=2x+4x+6 combining like terms</h3>

<h3>30=6x+6 subtracting 6 from both sides,</h3>

<h3>24=6x divide both sides by 6</h3>

<h3>4=x This means that the width is 4 m.</h3>

<h3>To get the length, use the expression L=2x+3 and plug in x = 4 that was already solved for</h3>

<h3>So the dimensions of the rectangle are width is 4 m and length is 11 m.</h3>

Answer:

First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}$

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

$\text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}$

$\text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}$

$\text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}$

$\text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}$

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

$\left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}$

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

What is the solution to the equation 5(x-3) = 2(x+3)?

VikaD [51]

Answer:
x = 7

General Formulas and Concepts:
Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step-by-Step Explanation:
Step 1: Define
5(x - 3) = 2(x + 3)

Step 2: Solve for x
1. Distribute: 5x - 15 = 2x + 6
2. Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x - 15 = 6
3. Add 15 on both sides: 3x = 21
4. Divide both sides by 3: x = 7
