Answer:
Width = 4.85 feet
Length = 7.85 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 25 2/5 ft = 25.4 feet
Length = 3 + Width
Computation:
Assume;
Width = a
So,
Length = 3 + a
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)
25.4 = 2[(3 + a) + a]
25.4 = 2[3 + 2a]
25.4 = 6 + 4a
4a = 19.4
a = 4.85
Width = 4.85 feet
Length = 3 + 4.85
Length = 7.85 feet
Answer:
s = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
17 = 4(s - 14) - (-5)
distribute the 4
17 = 4s - 56 - (-5)
combine like terms
17 = 4s - 56 + 5
17 = 4s - 51
add 51 to both sides
68 = 4s
divide by 4
68/4 = 17
s = 17
He should calmly leave and then report the threat.
