Preston have to get some correct and some incorrect answers.
(3x+8)(3x+8) is the answer :))
The value of x would equal 55
Answer:
3 71/100 = 3.71
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert this mixed number (fraction) to a decimal just follow these two steps:
Step 1: divide numerator (71) by the denominator (100): 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
Step 2: add this value to the the integer part: 3 + 0.71 = 3.71. So,
3 71/100 = 3.71
We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
l = length
w = width
In our problem,
l = 5x
w = 5x - 4
Let's create an inequality to help us solve this problem.
2(5x + (5x - 4)) ≥ 96
Let's start off by simplifying the terms inside the parentheses.
2(10x - 4) ≥ 96
Distribute the 2
20x - 8 ≥ 96
Add 8 to both sides.
20x ≥ 104
Divide both sides by 20
x ≥ 5.2
Let's plug 5.2 into x for our length and width.
Length = 5x = 5(5.2) = 26 cm
Width = 5x - 4 = 5(5.2) - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22 cm
The smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle are, length = 26 cm and width = 22 cm
