The formula for the perimeter is P = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>, where <em>w</em> is the width and <em>l</em> is the length. It is given that the width = (x+2) and the length = (x+6). Therefore, we can make this equation:
P = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>
64 = 2(x+2) + 2(x+6) ⇒ Distributive property
⇒ 64 = 2x + 4 + 2x + 12 ⇒ Combine like terms
⇒ 64 = 4x + 16 ⇒ Subtract 16 from both sides
⇒ 48 = 4x ⇒ Divide both sides by 4
⇒ x = 12
Then, we use x = 12 and substitute it in to find the length and width
<em>Width</em> = (x+2) = (12+2) = 14
<em>Length</em> = (x+6) = (12+6) = 18
The dimensions of the patio is <u>14 by 18</u>
Answer:
y=3x.........1
y=x^2-10.......2
substituting value of eq 1 to 2
3x=x^2-10
x^2-10-3x=0
x^2-3x-10=0
x^2-5x+2x-10=0
X(x-5)+2(x-5)=0
(x-5)(X+2)=0
then
X=5 or X=-2
again
y=??
when X=5
y=3×5=15
when X=-2
y=-6
Answer:
42 books
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio percent for nonfiction is 0.78%
You multiply the amount of book by the percent that is nonfiction which give you the answer of 42.
54(0.78) = 42
