A rectangle’s length is 8 cm more than three times its width. If the perimeter is 128 cm, find the length and the width.

Width = w=?
Length = l=(3w+8)cm
Perimeter = p = 128cm

Perimeter of a Rectangle = length + length + width + width
Perimeter of a Rectangle =2 length +2 width
P = 2l +2 w
128=2(3w+8)+2w
128=6w+16+2w
128-16=8w
112=8w
112/8=8w/8
14=w
w=14

Width = w= 14cm
Length = l=(3w+8)=3(14)+8 = 42+8 = 50cm

Yo! Solving linear equations with integers! These are just some practice exercises I need help with! So they should probably be

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Solving linear equation with one variable:</h3>

1) -4 + 3x = 4x - 8

Add 4 to both sides

-4 + 3x + 4 = 4x - 8 + 4

3x = 4x - 4

Subtract 4x from both sides,

3x - 4x = -4x + 4x - 4

-x = -4

$\sf \boxed{\bf x = 4}$

2) -5x - 8 = 2

Add 8 to both sides

-5x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

-5x = 10

Divide both sides by (-5)

$\sf \dfrac{-5}{-5}x =\dfrac{10}{-5}$

$\sf \boxed{\bf x = -2}$

3) 12r - 14 = 5(2-r)

12r - 14 = 5*2 - 5*r

12r - 14 = 10 - 5r

Add 14 to both sides

12r - 14 + 14 = 10 - 5r + 14

12r = 24 - 5r

Add 5r to both sides

12r + 5r = 24

17r = 24

Divide both sides by 17

r = 24/17

4) 3x - 8 = -(17 + 2x)

3x - 8 = -17 - 2x

Add 8 to both sides

3x - 8 + 8 = -17 - 2x + 8

3x = -9 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides

3x + 2x = -9

5x = -9

Divide both sides by 5

$\sf \dfrac{5}{5}x=\dfrac{-9}{5}\\\\\boxed{x = \dfrac{-9}{5}}$

State the property that justifies the statement: If 4x + 9 = 15 and X=2y + 1,

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Substitution property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$4x + 9 = 15$ and $x = 2y + 1$

Then

$4(2y + 1) + 9 = 15$

Required

State the property

From the list of options, (d) answers the question.

This is so because:

Substitution property of equality states that

If $a = b$ then $b = a$

In other words, both can replace one another.

So if $x = 2y + 1$ , then 2y + 1 can be substituted for x in $4x + 9 = 15$

So:

$4x + 9 = 15$ becomes

$4(2y + 1) + 9 = 15$

<em>Hence, it is substitution property of equality</em>
