Answer:

set width as a, so length is 2a-4

a(2a-4)=70

2a^2 - 4a = 70

a^2 - 2a = 35

a^2 - 2a + 1 = 36

(a-1)^2 = 36      Because width can not be negative so we only take possitive answer.

(a-1) = 6

a = 7

2(7) - 4

=14-4

=10

Length = 10

Width = 7

Last year, Goran biked 384 miles. This year he biked c miles, using c write an expression for the total number of miles he biked
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

384 + c = m.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use another variable such as t to represent "total." I used m to represent total "miles." The variable you use to represent the total shouldn't matter but these two variables make the most sense. 384 for last year's miles plus c, which is this year's miles, equals the total miles. A very simple, straight forward and easy equation to write.

Perform this operation and report the answer to the correct number of significant figures: What is the mass of a cube of aluminu
KIM [24]
The answer is 172.8 g.

The volume of the cube (V) is:
V = a³            (a - the side of the cube)

The density (D) <span>is quotient of mass (m) and volume (V):
D = m/V = m/a</span>³
⇒ m = D · a³
<span>

It is given:
D = 2.7 g/cm</span>³
a = 4 cm
Therefore:
m =  D · a³ = 2.7 · 4³ = 172.8 g
