Answer:

4x + 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The deck is the shape of a rectangle

Hence, the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2L + 2W

Where

L = Length = x feet

The width of the deck was 3 feet longer than the length.

W = Width = 3 + x feet

Hence:

Perimeter = 2(x ) + 2(3 + x)

Perimeter = 2x + 6 + 2x

Perimeter = 4x + 6 feet

Hence, the expression for the Perimeter of the deck is given as:

4x + 6 feet

guys i need help with solving the system of equations and combining the equations. also show your work. the equations are x-4y=-
Firdavs [7]
X-4y=-12
4x-y=12

eliminate y's
multily 2nd equaiton by -4 and add to top one

x-4y=-12
<u>-16x+4y=-48 +
</u>-15x+0y=-60

-15x=-60
divide both sides by -15
x=4
sub back
x-4y=-12
4-4y=-12
minus 4 both sides
-4y=-16
divide both sides by -4
y=4

x=4
y=4

what is the value of x in the diagram below? if necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth of a until
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC

AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence

AC = \sqrt{256} = 16

Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD

ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²

ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²

Equate both equations for AD², hence

256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²

-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )

- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )

40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )

x = 7.2 → C
