Answer:

20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We equate the perimeters:

5(x - 2) = 4(1/2x + 2)

5x - 10 = 2x + 8

5x - 2x = 8 + 10

3x = 18

x = 6

The perimeters = 5(6-2)

= 20 inches.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Let c represent the number of cows

Let h represent the number of horses

There are 2 more horses than cows in a field

⇒there are extra two horses are always than cows

⇒ horses-cows =2

⇒ hourses=2+cows

⇒ h =2+c

There are 16 animals in the field in all.

⇒ h +c=16

⇒ (2+c)+c=16

⇒ 2+2c=16

⇒ 2+2c-2=16-2

⇒2c=16-2

⇒ 2c=14

c=7

IF Q is the midpoint of PR, find the coordinates of R if P(11,-2) and Q(4,3). Write your answer in (x,y) format.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The coordinates of R is (-3,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the midpoint of a line segment is;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

In this case, we have (x,y) = (4,3)

and we also have (x1,y1) = (11,-2)

what we do not have is (x2,y2)

From the question, we have that;

(11 + x2)/2 = 4

11 + x2 = 2(4)

11 + x2 = 8

x2 = 8-11

x2 = -3

Also;

(-2 + y2)/2 = 3

-2 + y2 = 2(3)

-2 + y2 = 6

y2 = 6 + 2

y2 = 8

So the coordinates of R is (-3,8)

Gavin and Jim share some money in a ratio of 1:3 gavin gets £15 how much did Jim get
lozanna [386]

Answer:

$45   (corrected answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Gavin : Jim   = 1 : 3

fraction that Gavin gets = 1 / (1+3) = 1/4

fraction that Jim gets = 3 / (1+3) = 3/4

given that Gavin gets $15,

Gavin's share = (1/4) ----> equivalent to $15

Jim's share = (3/4) ----> equivalent to $15 x 3 = $45
