Answer:

The coefficient of x is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = 2(x+8) + 2(3x) --- Perimeter

Required

Determine the coefficient of x

P = 2(x+8) + 2(3x)

Open bracket

P = 2x + 16 + 6x

Collect like terms

P = 2x + 6x+ 16

P = 8x+ 16

<em>The coefficient of x is 8</em>

The length of a rectangle is twice as long as the width. The area is 200ft to the power of 2. Find the length and the width of t
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Length = 20feet

Width = 10feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = LW

Perimeter P= 2(L+W)

L is the length

W is the width

If the length of a rectangle is twice as long as the width, then;

L = 2W

Substitute into the foemula

A  = (2W)W

A=  2W²  

If the area is 200ft², then;

200 = 2W²

100 = W²

W = √100

W = 10ft

Since L = 2W

L = 2(10)

L = 20ft

Hence the length of the rectangle is 20feet and the Width is 10feet

Find two numbers whose product is 22 and whose sum is 13.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

2 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by calling these two numbers x and y. Now, you can set up the following system of equations:

x*y=22

x+y=13

You can rearrange the following equation to be x=13-y, and substitute into the first.

(13-y)*y=22

-y^2+13y=22

y^2-13y+22=0

y=2 or 11

x=11 or 2

Hope this helps!

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

$1,142.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross = $1500

Deductions = 6.2% + 1.45% + 16.2% = 23.85%

100% - 23.85% = 76.15%

100% = 1500

76.15$ = x

By cross multiplication

100x = 1500 * 76.15

x = $1,142.25
