To find a number 10 times smaller than 62 simply move the decimal point one place to the left.
The decimal point in 62 is at the end of the number. 62. becomes 6.2 if we move the decimal one place back.
Answer:
Write the written problem into an equation to get:
3x +2 = 5x -4
To solve:
Add 4 to each side:
3x+6 = 5x
Subtract 3x from each side:
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 6/2
x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Rectangle A's length = 22 ft., Rectangle B's length = 44 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that the length of Rectangle B is twice the length of Rectangle A, we know that 2*(3x + 7) = Rectangle B's length.
We must set this equation to the dimensions already given for Rectangle B, which gives us 2(3x + 7) = 2 (5x - 3).
Using the distributive property gives us 6x + 14 = 10x - 6 and solving for x gives us x = 5.
We must plug five into the original dimensions to find that the lengths of Rectangles A and B are 22 feet and 44 feet respectively.
