Answer:the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or  6 1/4 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Area of  a rectangular plywood = length x width

Area of Ist Plywood= 7 x w

Area of 2nd  Plywood= 61/2 x w=6.5 xw

But Total Arae of trhe two Plywoods are = 84 3/8 square feet.

Therefore Our equation to solve the problem becomes

Area of Ist Plywood + Area of 2nd  Plywood =84 3/8 square feet.

7w + 6.5w =  84 3/8

13.5w= 84 3/8

w =  84 3/8/13.5

675/8  / 13.5

w=6.25

Therefore the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or 6 1/4 feet.

Evaluate the expression 4(2x + 3) + 2(x + 1)-7
Svetlanka [38]
4 (2x + 3) + 2 (x + 1) - 7

8x + 12 + 2x +  2 - 7

10x + 7

10x = -7
10x/10 = -7/10

x = -7/10

hope this helps

You have 12 coins, one of which is fake. The fake coin is indistinguishable from the rest except that it is heavier. Can you det
Anton [14]
Yep! 
Weighing #1: Start off by splitting the pile of 12 coins evenly into two piles, 6 in each pile. Put one pile on each side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has the fake coin it in. Ignore the other 6 coins.

Weighing #2: Now you have 6 coins left. Split the pile evenly again, 3 in each pile. Repeat the same process and put each pile on one side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has your fake coin in it. Ignore the other 3 coins.

Weighing #3: You have 3 coins left. Take two coins, whichever two you like, and weigh them. If they weigh the same, then the one you didn't weigh is the fake one. If one is heavier, then that heavier one is your fake coin.

What is the anser to the equation 2^{2x+2} = 2^{3x}
Marianna [84]

Answer: C) x = 2

2^{2x + 2} = 2^{3x}

Since both terms (above) have the same base, set the exponents to be equal:

2x + 2 = 3x (Rearrange to solve for x)

x = 2

∴ x = 2
