Answer:

Length = 18 Width = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)

So let's label the unknown length as x. Width would then be (x-7). Then plug it into the perimeter equation.

2(x) + 2(x-7) = 58

Then use PEMDAS which will give us

2x+2x-14 = 58

Combine like terms

4x -14 = 58

Add 14 to both sides

4x = 72

To get x by itself you have to divide both sides by 4.

x = 18

So length is 18 and width is (18-7) which is 11.

Answer:

(-1, -2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

the midpoint of a segment is $(\frac{x1+x2}{2} ,\frac{y1+y2}{2}$ $)$ , given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

$midpoint=(\frac{-9+7}{2}, \frac{3-8}{2} )$ $= (\frac{-2}{2}, \frac{-5}{2} ) = (-1, -2.5)$

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. In the equation√n+5

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

n = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of n is $\sqrt{n + 5} - \sqrt{n - 10} = 1$ and we have to solve it for n.

$\sqrt{n + 5} - \sqrt{n - 10} = 1$ ........... (1)

⇒ $\frac{(n + 5) - (n - 10)}{\sqrt{n + 5} + \sqrt{n - 10}} = 1$

{Rationalizing the numerator}

⇒ $\sqrt{n + 5} + \sqrt{n - 10} = 15$ .............. (2)

Now, adding (1) and (2) we get

$2\sqrt{n + 5} = 16$

⇒ n + 5 = 64 {Squaring both sides}

⇒ n = 59 (Answer)
