Let x and y be the length and width of the rectangle respectively
2(x+y)=32...(1)
x=2y-5...(2)

From (1),we have
2x+2y=32...(3)

By sub.(2) into (3),we have
2(2y-5)+2y=32
4y-10+2y=32
6y=42
y=7

By sub.y=7 into (2),we have
x=2*7-5
x=14-5
x=9

Length =9m
Width =7m

Answer:

W = 2.5d + 62

Step-by-step explanation:

The calf weighed 62 pounds when they were born. This gives us a base of 62 pounds - the calf cannot weigh less than 62 pounds and it does on day 0. On each day , the calf gains 2.5 pounds. We can times the number to days by 2.5 to get the gain from day 0. We can add these two values together to get the total current weight of the calf.

2/3 of the sum of three times a number and six is 10. what is the number?
mestny [16]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...

2/3(3x +6) = 10

  2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property

  x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3

The number is 3.

__

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...

  2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions

  6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
