Here is how to work it out:
1 + 5 = 6
36 / (1+5) meaning 36 / 6 = 6
6 * 1 = 6 the smaller number
6 * 5 = 30 the larger number
6 the smaller number + 30 the larger number = 36
The smaller number is 6
We are told that l is the length of the rectangle. We are told that the widht is 4 less than half the lenght. So, first, we calculate the half of l, which would be
the part that says "4 less than" means that we should subtract 4 from the half of length. So we get
now, this expression should be equal to the width , that we'll note as w. So we end up with the equation
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the length of each of the three sides mentioned. The length of the fourth side is 7 inches. Adding the lengths of the four sides together yields 10 inches: g + g + g + 7 = 10 (inches)
Then 3g + 7 = 10, or 3g = 3, or g = 1.
This equation is OK, but there's no solution, since 3g or just 3 is less than 7. With side lengths 1, 1, 1, 7, we cannot draw a quadrilateral.
2+9-18/6-10
11-18/-4
-7/–4=7/4
