Given:

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches less than three times its width.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 34 inches.

To find:

The dimensions of the rectangle.

Solution:

Let x be the width of the rectangle. Then, the length of a rectangle is 3 inches less than three times its width.

Length of the rectangle = 3x-3

Now, perimeter of the rectangle is

Perimeter=2(Length + Width)

Perimeter=2(3x-3+x)

The perimeter of the rectangle is 34 inches.

34=2(4x-3)

34=8x-6

34+6=8x

40=8x

Divide both sides by 8.

\dfrac{40}{8}=x

5=x

The value of x is 5. So, width of the rectangle is 5 inches.

Length=3x-3

Length=3(5)-3

Length=15-3

Length=12

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 12 inches and the width of the rectangle is 5 inches.

Select all irrational numbers. 1/8 1/2 1/4 1/10 1/16
ludmilkaskok [199]
None of them are irrational, the definition of an irrational number is a number that cannot be simplified, converted to a fraction, or has no pattern to it or is never ending. For example, a pi is an irrational number because it is never ending and has no pattern to it. Another example would be 0.21411446741354...  irrational because it has no pattern to it and cannot be converted to a fraction.

A first number plus twice a second number is 55. Twice the first number plus the second totals 1313. Find the numbers.
Sphinxa [80]
The answer: x=857 and y=-401

Set up the two equations

X+2y=55
2x+y=1313

Solve the system of equations by elimination

2x+y=1313
-2x-4y=-110

Add each of the corresponding terms together

-3y=1203

Divide by -3

Y=-401

Plug y back into one of the original equations

X+2(-401)=55
X-802=55
X=857
