Answer:

32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

height = x

length = x+4

x(x+4)=60

x^2 +4x=60

make it into quadratic formula

x^2 + 4x - 60 =0

a=1

b=-4

c=-60

4^2-4*1*(-66)

discriminant equals to 256

square root of 256 equals to 16

x=-4+16/2 = 6

x=-4-16/2 = -10

we will use 6

length is x+4 so 6+4 = 10

width is x = 6

10 plus 10 = 20

6 plus 6= 12

20+12=32 cm

Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle =  32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Let the height of the rectangle = 'x' cm

Thus the length of the rectangle = x + 4 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + height )

Area of the rectangle = length X height

Given area of the rectangle = 60 cm²

( length X height ) = 60

( x + 4) x  =60

 x² + 4 x - 60 =0

 x² + 10 x- 6 x - 60 =0

x ( x+10) - 6 ( x + 10 ) =0

(x+10) ( x -6 ) = 0

x = -10  and x =6

<u><em>we can choose x =6</em></u>

The height of the rectangle(H) = 'x' = 6 cm

The length of the rectangle (L)= 6 + 4 = 10cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + height )

                                           = 2 ( 10 + 6 )

                                          = 32 cm

∴ Perimeter of the rectangle = 32 cm

Solve each system by elimination.

For eliminating you need to have a variable that cancels the other out and in this case 2x and -2x do. Then you want to take -3y+9y and add the numbers after the equal sign. -9+3

SUIVE
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

t = tutoring and g = grocery store

t + g = 15......t = 15 - g

15t + 9g = 159

15(15 - g) + 9g = 159

225 - 15g + 9g = 159

-15g + 9g = 159 - 225

-6g = - 66

g = -66/-6

g = 11 <===== 11 hrs worked at the grocery store

t + g = 15

t + 11 = 15

t = 15 - 11

t = 4.....4 hrs tutoring

Sarah's new puppy weighed 5 2/7 pounds. After a month it had gained 5 7/10 pounds.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

769/70

Step-by-step explanation:

5 2/7 = 37/7

5 7/10 = 57/10

The lowest common multiple is 70

37*10/(7 * 10) = 370/70

57/10 = 57*7/(7*10) = 399/70

Now add

370/70 + 399/70

769/70

Is 769 prime? I think it might be.

Yes it is.
