14 - 2n = -32
32 + 14 = 2n
46 = 2n
46/2 = n
23 = n
Checking:
14 - 2(23) = -32
14 - 46 = -32
-32 = -32 (Matched, answer is correct n = 23)
Answer:
B) 13/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to understand what a terminating decimal is: It is a decimal that has a finite number of decimal values that are not zero, meaning that its decimal values end at some point
Let's go through our possible answers with trial and error:
A) 8/9
8/9 = 0.888888888888...9 (Incorrect)
B) 13/8
13/8 = 1.625 (Correct)
C) 4/3
4/3 = 1.3333333333...4 (Incorrect)
D) 6/11
6/11 = 0.545454545454...54 (Incorrect
13/8 is our answer because in decimal form it is a terminating decimal.
I know it is between b and c i am not sure cause they are both similar in the way they look but if i had to choose maybe B
sorry if its wrong, then its c
The formula for a rectangle's perimeter is
P = 2l + 2w
We know the length is 2 ft greater than thrice the width, so 2l becomes:
3w + 2ft + 3w + 2ft
Substitute.
P = 3w + 2ft + 3w + 2ft + 2w
Add like terms.
P = 8w + 4ft
Substitute P.
84 ft = 8w + 4ft
Subtract 4 ft from both sides to eliminate. (Property of equality)
84 ft - 4ft = 8w + 4ft - 4ft
80 ft = 8w
Divide 8 on both sides to isolate w.
80 ft / 8 = 8w / 8
10 ft = w
We have the value of w, now look for the l which we know is 2 feet more than thrice the value of w.
l = 10 ft × 3 + 2 ft
l = 30 ft + 2 ft
l = 32 ft
Therefore, the length and the width of the rectangle is 10 ft (w) and 32 ft (l).
Check:
84 ft = (2) (10 ft) + (2) (32 ft)
84 ft = 20 ft + 64 ft
84 ft = 84 ft ✔
