Answer:

Width (length of shorter side) = 3.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 8.5 cm

perimeter, P = 24 cm

2(L+W) = 24

substitute L = 8.5

2(8.5+W) = 24

8.5 + W = 24/2 = 12

W = 12 - 8.5 = 3.5 cm

17) $x-8=11$

18) $9-x=5$

19) $x+6=7$

20) $x+(-4)=-18$

Step-by-step explanation:

17) The difference between a number and 8 is 11

Let number = x

then the equation will be:

$x-8=11$

Solving:

$x-8=11$

$x=11+8\\x=19$

18) Nine less than a number is five.

Let number = x

then the equation will be:

$9-x=5$

Solving:

$9-x=5\\-x=5-9\\-x=-4\\x=4$

19) Seven is equal to a number plus 6

Let number = x

then the equation will be:

$x+6=7$

Solving:

$x+6=7\\x=7-6\\x=1$

20) The sum of a number and -4 is -18

Let number = x

then the equation will be:

$x+(-4)=-18$

solving:

$x+(-4)=-18\\x-4=-18\\x=-18+4\\x=-14$

Darius has a 6-month loan for $500. He must pay 5.6% annual interest on the loan. Using the formula for simple interest, I = Prt

Travka [436]

Firstly, multiply the principal P, interest in percentage R and tenure T in years.
For yearly interest, divide the result of P*R*T by 100.
To get the monthly interest, divide the Simple Interest by 12 for 1 year, 24 months for 2 years and so on.
