set up an equation for the perimeter
l = length w = width
2l + 2w = 64
set up another equation as you know the length is 3 times the width
w = 3l
subsitute w = 3l into the 2l + 2w = 64
2l + 2(3l) = 64
solve for l
2l + 6l = 64
8l = 64
<em><u>length</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>8</u></em>
subsitute into w = 3l
w = 3(8)
<em><u>width</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>4</u></em>
Answer: Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
f=3
11+3= 14
23 > 14
es correcto decir que 23 es mas grande que 11+f
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
X = number of Yan's marbles. x-3 = number of Geraldo's marbles
annswer: x + (x - 3) = 21

Recall that A = 1/2bh.
We are given that h = 4+2b
So, putting it all together:
168 = 1/2 b(4+2b)
168 = 1/2(4b + 2b^2)
168 = 2b + b^2
b^2 + 2b - 168 = 0.
Something that multiplies to -168 and adds to 2? There's a trick to this.
Notice 13^2 = 169. So, it's more than likely in the middle of the two numbers we're trying to find. So let's try 12 and 14. Yep. 12 x 14 = 168. So this factors into (b+14)(b-12) So b = -14 or b =12. Is it possible to have a negative length on a base? No. So 12 must be our answer.
Let's check this. If 12 is our base, then according to our problem, 2*12 + 4 would be our height... or 28. so what is 12 * 28 /2?
196. Check.
Hope this helped!
