Answer:

Length = 20 cm

Width = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :-

  • The perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm.
  • Its length and width if the length is represented by 3x + 2 and the width is represented by 2x – 5.

To find :-

Find the measures of length and width

Solution :-

  • To calculate the measures of length and width of rectangle . we gave given in question that perimeter of rectangle is 54 cm and length is represented by 3x + 2 and width is represented by 2x-5.

Using Formula :-

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + b )

Where,

  • l is the length and w is the width of rectangle.
  • Perimeter = 54 cm

Substitute the values

54 cm = 2 ( 3x + 2 + 2x - 5 )

Combine like terms

54 cm = 2 ( 3 x + 2 x + 2 - 5)

54 cm = 2 ( 5 x -3)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

54 = 2( 5x− 3 )

54 = (2)(5x) + (2)(−3). .. ( Distribute )

54 = 10x +−6

54 = 10x −6

Flip the equation.

10x −6 = 54

Add 6 to both sides.

10x −6 + 6 = 54 + 6

10x = 60

Divide both sides by 10.

10x / 10 = 60 / 10

x = 6

Therefore ,

Length = 3x + 2 =3 ×6 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20 cm

Width = 2x- 5 = 2 × 6 - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7 cm

Answer:

length = 20

width = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(l+w)

54 = 2( 3x+2 + 2x-5)

Combine like terms

54 = 2( 5x -3)

Divide each side by 2

54/2 = 5x-3

27 = 5x-3

Add 3 to each side

27+3 = 5x-3+3

30 = 5x

Divide by 5

30/5 = 5x/5

6 =x

3x+2 = 3(6)+2 = 18+2 = 20

2x-5 = 2(6)-2 =12-5 =7

The point (2,1) is a solution to which of the following systems of equations
Triss [41]

Answer:

x+y = 3

3x-y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 3

3x-y = 5

This system of equation will give the points(2,1).

Lets substitute the values x=2 and y = 1 in the equations:

x+y=3    equation 1

2+1 =3

3=3

3x-y=5  equation 2

3(2)-1=5

6-1=5

5=5

Lets solve the system:

Add the equations to eliminate y from the system:

x+y = 3

3x-y = 5

_______

4x    = 8

Now divide both the sides by 4

4x/4 = 8/4

x=2

Now substitute the value of x in equation 1:

x+y=3

2+y=3

Combine the constants:

y=3-2

y=1....

Ram can travel 20km by a motorcycle in 1 litre of petrol.how far can he travel from 5 litres of petrol?Also,how much petrol will
raketka [301]

Answer:

On 5 liters of petroleum he can go 100km.

He needs 37.5 liters of petroleum to go 750km.

Step-by-step explanation:

He goes 20km on 1 liter. Now we must find how far he can go on 5 liters.

1 * 5 = 5

20 * 5 = 100

The reason we multiplied was because we had to multiply 1 by 5 to get the number of liters of petroleum and what you to one side you must do to the other.

To find how many liters are needed to go 750km you must divide:

750/20 = 37.5

He needs 37.5 liters of petroleum to travel 750km.

Hope this helps! :)
