The length of a rectangle is 2 meters less than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 44

Mathematics
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Width of rectangle = x

Length of rectangle = 3x-2

Perimeter of rectangle = 44 meters

We need to find:

The Width of rectangle.

The formula used is:

Perimeter\:of\:rectangle=2(Length\times Width)

Putting values and finding value of x

Perimeter\:of\:rectangle=2(Length\times Width)\\44=2(3x-2+x)\\44=2(4x-2)\\44=8x-4\\8x=44+4\\8x=48\\x=\frac{48}{8}\\x=6

So, we get the value of x = 6.

We know that Width of rectangle = x = 6

So, Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Since they are similar both dimensions would have the same ratio. The ratio of 5 and 15 is 3. 15 is 3 times larger than 5, so the unknown dimension is 3 times larger than the known dimension.

3 x 10 = 30

The unknown dimension is 30

-5x + 4 = 2x + 16<br> How do I solve this
Cloud [144]
Subtract 2x from both sides then you’d have -7x+4=16 Then you subtract 4 from both sides and you’d get -7x=12. Next you divide both side by -7 so x=1.75 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Suppose that y varies inversely with X and that y equals 4 when x equals 6 what is an equation for the inverse variation
nekit [7.7K]
When two functions vary inversely with each other, they are usually in the form y = k / x, where k is the constant of proportionality.

To find the equation for the inverse variation, find the constant of proportionality. Do that by substituting the values for x and y into y = k / x and solving for k.

y = k / x
4 = k / 6
24 = k

Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 24. The equation for the inverse variation is y = 24/x.
