l = 2w - 4

Because we're solving for 2l + 2w, that can be simplified to

2(2w - 4) + 2w = 34

4w - 8 + 2w = 34

6w - 8 = 34

6w = 42

w = 7

Knowing this, we can input w:

2(7) + 2l = 34

14 + 2L = 34

2l = 20

l = 10

L = 10, W = 7, Option C

To begin to solve this question, we need to express the lengths in terms of width of the width in terms of length. Since the question says that the length was 4 centimeters less than twice the width, that means that the length is equal to 4 centimeters less (minus) twice the width (times two). That means that l = 2w - 4. We also know that the perimeter is 34cm.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is 2l + 2w, or 2(2w - 4) + 2w. Since the perimeter is 34, that means that:

4w - 8 + 2w = 34

Combining like terms and moving the numbers to the other side, we get:

6w = 42

w = 7

Plugging in the value of w in the formula for the length, we get that l = 2 (7) - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10. That means that the correct answer is C.

I need help -3x=x-(6-2x)?
USPshnik [31]
<span>Simplifying 3x + 6 = 2x
  Reorder the terms: 6 + 3x = 2x
  Solving 6 + 3x = 2x
  Solving for variable 'x'.
  Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
  Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. 6 + 3x + -2x = 2x + -2x
  Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x 6 + 1x = 2x + -2x
  Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 6 + 1x = 0
  Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + 1x = 0 + -6
 Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
 0 + 1x = 0 + -6 1x = 0 + -6
Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6 1x = -6
 Divide each side by '1'. x = -6
 Simplifying x = -6
</span>so the answer is x =-6

Three-quarters of a pound of candy cost 66 cents. Find the cost of one pound<br> of candy.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$0.88 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to divide the 3/4 pounds by 3, and when you do that, you also have to divide the 66 cents by 3 as well, then multiply the 1/4 you get from dividing 3/4 by 3, and multiply it by 4 to get 1 pound, but when you do that, you have to do the same thing with the 22 cents you get from dividing 66 cents by 3, which will give you 88 cents per pound
