Answer:

x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create an equation based on how there are 29 problems on the test.

x + y represents all of the questions on the test, so it should be set equal to 29.

The first equation is x + y = 29.

Now, create an equation based on how the test is worth 100 points.

5x will represent the points from the questions worth 5 points, and 2y will represent the points from the questions worth 2 points.

These terms will be added together, and set equal to 100.

The second equation is 5x + 2y = 100.

So, the system of equations is x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100

The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. If a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 inches and the length

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

<h3 /><h3><u>Solve for the Width (W)</u></h3>

P = 2(L + W) ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}$

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}$

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}$

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}$

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

<h3 /><h3><u>Double-check:</u></h3>

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.

Simplify completely quantity x squared minus 3 x minus 54 over quantity x squared minus 18 x plus 81 times quantity x squared pl

oee [108]

Your statemtent is incomplete.

I found the samestatment with the complete words: <span>Simplify completely quantity x squared minus 3 x minus 54 over quantity x squared minus 18 x plus 81 times quantity x squared plus 12 x plus </span>36 over x plus 6

Given that your goal is to learn an be able to solve any similar problem, I can teach you assuming that what I found is exactly what you need.

x^2 - 3x - 54          x^2 + 12x + 36
------------------    x   ---------------------
x^2 - 18x + 81              x + 6

factor x^2 - 3x - 54 => (x - 9)(x + 6)

factor x^2 - 18x + 81 => (x - 9)^2

factor x^2 + 12x + 36 = (x + 6)^2

Now replace the polynomials with the factors=>

(x - 9) (x + 6) (x + 6)^2        (x + 6)^2       x^2 + 12x + 36
------------------------------ = --------------- = --------------------
    (x - 9)^2 (x + 6)                 (x - 9)               x - 9

What is GE ? <br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.

harina [27]

Since ZY bisects GE and XY bisects EF, and both ZY and XY both bisect GF, then XY ~ ZE and ZY ~ XE.
Therefore ZE = XY = 5
And GE = 2× ZE (because bisected segments are = and therefore ×2 = long segment).
So GE = 2ZE = 2×5 = 10
