Answer:
Since this is a multi-part question, just look at the bolded parts under each letter. I hope this helps a bit ;)
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
All sides of a square are congruent. "s" represents the square's perimeter:
s=4x.
"r" is the rectangle's perimeter:
r= 4x+26
since the perimeter = 2W + 2L:
2W + 2L= 4x+ 26
and W=x, so:
2x + 2L= 4x + 26
Subtract from both sides:
2L= 2x +26
Divide both sides:
the length of the rectangle "L"= x +13.
B) Plug 5 into the equations:
L= 5+ 13 or 18.
2(18) + 2(5)= r
36+ 10 = r or 46
s= s+ 26
s= 46-26 or 20.
20/4= 5...
It seems (at least to me, feel free to give constructive criticism) that the only logical conclusion is that 5 <u>could</u> be the value of x.
C) You would likely need to use substitution to solve, but unless I am much mistaken, this looks like an infinite-solutions equation.
L=w+13
MAny ways the child can thake 5 of the 2 ones she likes or 8 of one and 2 of the other or 4 of one and 6 of the other 7 of one 3 of the onther 9 of 1 and and 1 of the other. you can find the rest
72, 36, 144
its skip a number times 2 times two
then the number you skipped, times two to get the one after the next one then times 3 then so on.
Hey there :)
Let us translate the words into mathematics!
The difference of 2 numbers is 3
x - y = 3
The sum of 2 numbers is 13
x + y = 13
(eq. 1) x - y = 3
(eq.2) x + y = 13
eq. 1 + eq.2 ⇒ x - y = 3
+ x + y = 13 ( -y and +y cancels out )
2x = 16

x = 8
We have the value of x, simply substitute it in either of the formulae to find y
x - y = 3 , 8 - y = 3 , 8 - 3 = y , 5 = y
x + y = 13 , 13 - 8 = y , 5 = y
x = 8 , y = 5
