Answer:

I. L = 17 cm.

II. W = 11 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be L.

Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Given the following data;

Perimeter of rectangle = 56cm

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

L = W + 6 .....equation 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;

P = 2(L + W)

56 = 2(L + W) ......equation 2

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

56 = 2(W + 6 + W)

56 = 2(6 + 2W)

Opening the bracket, we have;

56 = 12 + 4W

4W = 56 - 12

4W = 44

W = 44/4

W = 11 cm

Next, we would find the length of the rectangle;

From eqn 1;

L = W + 6

L = 11 + 6

L = 17 cm

How much bigger is 3/8 than 1/3 answer as a fraction

alekssr [168]

You would first need to find a common denominator for 3/8 and 1/3 the common denominator would be 24 because 8 times three is 24 and 3 times 8 is 24. After you find your common denominator your fraction becomes 9/24 + 8/24. This gives you 17/24.

8 miles in 0.5 hour what rate in miles per hour

yan [13]

In this question it is already given that a person travels 8 miles in 0.5 hours. This is enough information to get to the required answer. Let us first write down all the information's that are already given in the question.
In 0.5 hours the person covers a distance = 8 miles
Then
In 1 hour the person covers a distance of = 8/0.5 miles
= 16 miles
So the speed of the person in miles per hour = 16/1 miles/hour
= 16 miles per hour

The final margin of an NFL football game is approximately normally distributed, with a mean equal to the gambling point spread a

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The Giants had 0.1949 = 19.49% probability of winning initially.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean equal to the gambling point spread and a standard deviation of 14 points. The Patriots had been favored by 12 points.

This means that $\mu = 12, \sigma = 14$

What does that fact imply about the Giants' initial (i.e., pre-game) chances of winning

P(X > 0): Probability of Patriots winning.

P(X < 0): Probability of Giants winning.

So we want to find P(X < 0), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{0 - 12}{14}$

$Z = -0.86$

$Z = -0.86$ has a pvalue of 0.1949

The Giants had 0.1949 = 19.49% probability of winning initially.

Answer:

-6x
variable: x
coefficient: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is the one on the far left, before the + sign. It is -6x.

There is a variable (x) in this term, so it is a variable term. The variable is x.

The coefficient is the constant that multiplies the x, The coefficient is -6.
