The perimeter of a parallelogram is 72 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than it length. Find the length a

lesya [120]

P = L + L + w + w

72 = 2(L) + 2(L-4)

Distribute

72 = 2(L) + 2(L) - 8

Add like terms

72 = 4(L) - 8

Subtract 8 from both sides

64 = 4(L)

Divide both sides by 4

16 = L

The length is 16. Now substitute that in the equation for finding w.

w = L - 4

w =

Matthew is 3 times as old as jenny. in 7 years, he will be twice as old as she will be then. how old is each now? Explain how to

Nataliya [291]

Let m and j be the current ages of Matthew and Jenny, respectively.

Now, Matthew is 3 times as old as Jenny, so the variables are in the following relation:

$m=3j$

In 7 years, both of them will be 7 years older, i.e. their ages will be m+7 and j+7, and Matthew will be twice as old:

$m+7=2(j+7)$

Now, remembering that m=3j, we can rewrite the second equation as

$3j+7=2j+14 \iff j = 7$

So, Jenny is 7 and Matthew is 21 (he's 3 times older).

In fact, in 7 years, they will be 14 and 28, and Matthew will be twice as old.

Answer:

Sample response:

Step-by-step explanation:

She would multiply the rate by the years to find the average rise in water levels, or 1.8 times 6.2 = 11.16. To find the difference between the water levels, she would subtract -13.64 from 11.16.

Line AB passes through A(-3, 0) and B(-6, 5). What is the equation of the line that passes through the origin and is parallel to

amid [387]

parallel means "same slope (m)"

m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$ = $\frac{0 - 5}{-3 - (-6)} = \frac{-5}{-3 + 6} = \frac{-5}{3}$
