Answer:
The answer to your question is: width = 3 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Perimeter = 16 meters
The room is 2 meters longer than its width, then length = width + 2
Perimeter = 2 length + 2 width
16 = 2(width + 2) + 2 width
16 = 2 width + 4 + 2 width
16 = 4 width +4
16 - 4 = 4 width
12 = 4 width
12/4 = width
3 = width
length = 3 + 2 = 5 meters
The fraction will continue to be the same numerator "1". However the denominator will be a greater number. Such as 4. Then you will know it is broken into more peices (as being a greater number). These pieces will automatically be a smaller fraction.
So, in order to know if a fraction is less then 1/2, it will have a greater denominator.
hope this helps :)
Answer: x= -2/5 or x= -0.4
combine like terms on left side and get -11+2x. then combine terms on right side and get -13-3x. add the 11 to the right side and get 2x= -2-3x
then add over the 3x and get 5x=-2
and finally divide the -2 from 5x and get -2/5
