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.

Step-by-step explanation:

Study conducted to tests whether oxygen level prior SAT score improves test score. This can be done through - Hypothesis testing of ' significance of difference between means'.

Where x1 & x2 represent mean values of SAT test score before (or without) & after (or with) oxygen.

Null hypothesis [H0] = x1 = x2 , Alternate Hypothesis [H1] : x1 < x2

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

9-(-8)=20             given

9+8=20                the two negatives cancel out, making the eight positive

17=20                   this statement is not correct, so the answer is no solution

no solution

I'm not sure if there was supposed to be a variable in there somewhere, but I did my best to explain. Hope this helps!

A roll of ribbon was 12 meters long. Diego cut 9 pieces of ribbon that were 0.4 meters each to tie some presents. He then used t
dexar [7]

Answer: 8.4; 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much ribbon we used to tie presents, we need to multiply 9 and 0.4.

9 x 0.4 = 3.6.

Diego used 3.6 meters of yard to tie some presents. We can subtract that from 12 to find how much ribbon we have left.

12 - 3.6 = 8.4.

We have 8.4 meters of ribbon to make wreaths.

Now we have to find how many wreaths we can make wiht 8.4 meters of ribbon. We know that each wreath needs 0.6, so we should divide 8.4 by 0.6 to find how many wreaths we can make.

8.4 ÷ 0.6 = 14.

Therefore, we can make 14 wreaths with the 8.4 meters of leftover ribbon.

(Part A's answer is 8.4, and Part B's answer is 14)
