Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{P = 32cm}

Find the perimeter by solving for y.

We know that a rectangle contains two pairs of parallel and congruent sides, therefore:

5y - 1 = 2y + 8

We can solve for y using this expression. Begin by subtracting 2y from both sides:

5y - 2y - 1 = 2y - 2y + 8

3y - 1 = 8

Add 1 to both sides:

3y - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1

3y = 9

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 3

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l + 2w

Plug in the given expressions for the side lengths to find one equation:

P = 2(5y - 1) + 2(y - 1)

Simplify by distribution:

P = 10y - 2 + 2y - 2

Combine like terms:

P = 12y - 4

Plug in the solved value of y into this equation:

P = 12(3) - 4

P = 36 - 4

P = 32 cm.

Anon25 [30]

The word "times" means you have to multiply.

2 1/5 times 1 3/4 is 3 17/20.

The phrase "how many more" means you have to subtract.

3 17/20 minus 2 1/5 is 1 13/20.

Carson walked her dog 1 13/20 more miles than Claire did.

Sorry for the lazy explanations Imao

LCM of 189024 <br>please give me answer my question​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the LCM of 18,90 and 24.

The prime factorization of 18 = 2 × 3 × 3

The prime factorization of 90 = 2 × 5×3×3

The prime factorization of 24 = 2 × 3×2×2

LCM is least common multiple.

LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5

= 360

Hence, the LCM of 18,90 and 24 is 360.
