It's A because of 162.75/.35
W=x
L=2x+17
Double everything since we need to lengths and two widths to find the perimeter
2x+17+2x+17+x+x = 76
Combine like terms
6x+34=76
Solve for x
First step is subtract 34 from both sides
6x=42
Next you divide both sides by 6 in order to get x by itself
X=7
Now you plug in 7 into the x’s in length and width
W=7 cm
L=31 cm
THE WIDTH IS 31 CM
Check:
7+7+31+31 = 76 cm
It equals 76 cm just like the problem said so therefore it is right.
B hope it helps SORRY IF IM WRONG
To solve with Elimination:
Write the equations under one another, like this:
2x - y = -1
+ 3x + 4y = 26
Ideally, we would like for one of the variables to be eliminated when we add vertically (straight down). But if we add them as they are this does not happen. We must manipulate one of the equations so that it will happen. Again, you can try to eliminate either x or y. I always look for a term that has a coefficient of 1 (or negative 1). So, let's use that y from the first equation again.
If the coefficient of the y in the other equation is POSITIVE 4, then I need the coefficient from the first equation to be its opposite, NEGATIVE 4. To do this, simply multiply the first equation by 4, this will create MAGIC!
4( 2x - y = -1)
+ 3x + 4y = 26
Be certain to Distribute across the entire first equation, so multiply all three terms by 4.
8x - 4y = -4
+ 3x + 4y = 26
Now add straight down (vertically). The y term will be eliminated.
11x = 22
Divide both sides of the equation by 11.
x = 2
Almost there! Now, substitute the 2 in for x in either of the original equations. Either one will work. I'm gonna use the second equation.
3x + 4y = 26
3(2) + 4y = 26
6 + 4y = 26
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.
4y = 20
Divide both sides of the equation by 4.
y = 5
That's it! There it is again. Put it all together. If x = 2 and y = 5, then the solution is the ordered pair, (2,5).
Answer:
(n-2)180 (this is the equation to find the sum of interior angles)
(4-2) 180 (plug in the amount of angles in the polygon and then solve)
2* 180
360
360 - 115 -100- 73= 72 (360 is the sum of all angles for this polygon. so subtract the known angles to find the unknown one)
measure of angle B is 72 degrees
