Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this, we first need to look at the perimeter equation:
P=2L+2W
We don't know our length, so we can represent it with x. Since our width is 2 feet shorter than x, we can represent it with x-2. Now, we plug these values into our equation:
56=2x+(2(x-2))
Let's simplify what the width is by multiplying:
56=2x+2x-4
Now, let's combine our 2xs
56=4x-4
Now, we just need to solve for x in order to find our length and width.
First, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 4 to both sides:
56=4x-4
+4 +4
60=4x
Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 4 and x will be fully isolated:
60=4x
÷4 ÷4
15=x
Now that we know x, let's plug this into our previous equations:
L=x=15
<u>L=15</u>
W=x-2=15-2=13
<u>W=13</u>
To verify our answers, we can plug this into our perimeter equation:
56=2(15)+2(13)
56=30+36
56=56
After double checking our answers, we know that our length is 15 and our width is 13.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
Let the weight of the first truck be represented by w.
total weight = w + (2 + w) + (2 + 2 + w) + (2 + 2 + 2 + w)
32 = 4w + 12
20 = 4w
w = 5
Therefore, the first truck weighs 5 tons, the second weighs 7 tons, the third weighs 9 tons and the fourth weighs 11 tons.
Answer:
20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is 20 because there is 4 sides and each side is worth of the length 5 so 5 times 4 - is what 20 . So the answer 20 is right . Hope this helps, you are welcome.
So if you means 33-55=-22
-22/11=x
so when dividing by a negative, just divide as usual, but just make the answer negative so
-22/11=22/11 times -1/1=2 times -1=-2
the answer is -2
Answer: Option A) liters
Step-by-step explanation:
Liters is the standard unit of measurement for volume. Metres, on the other hand, is the standard unit of measurement for length, height, width or distance traveled.
So, since we are to me measure the amount (volume) of water in Lacie's bucket, liters is the standard unit to used.
