Let x represent the width. Since the length is 3 more than 4 times the width, that would be equal to 3+4x. The perimeter is the sum of all sides, so that would be x+x+3+4x+3+4=86. Combine like terms, which would result in 10x+6=86. Subtract 6 from both sides giving you 10x=80. Divide by 10 giving you x=8. That means that the width is 8. The length is 3+4x. Substitute 8 for x giving you 3+4(8). Multiply, giving you 3+32, then add, which would give you 35. 35 is the length.
2ab - 3a = a.(2b-3)
now the same thing
let's say n=1
a.(2b-3) + n.(2b-3) = (2b-3).(a+n)
Understood?
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-3y=136) + (18x+3y=288) We collect both processes to make y's disappear
19x=-152
x=-8
9.4 Ft for the first one
7.5 Ft for the second piece
12 Ft for the Third
he uses 5.2 Ft from the first piece of wood so 9.4 - 5.2= 4.6ft
he uses 6.1 ft from the second piece of wood , 7.5 - 6.1 = 1.4 ft
Nathan didnt use any of the 3rd piece of wood , so he still have 12 Feet of wood remaining so, 12+4.6+1.4 = 18 feet of wood left that he didnt use.
