Answer:

shorter side = 7 in

longer side = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

then w + 5 = length

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2 widths + 2 lengths.

So, w + w + w + 5 + w + 5 = 38  or 2w +2(w + 5) = 38 are two ways to write the equation to solve the problem.

Now 4w + 10 = 38

4w = 28

w = 7

w + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12

shorter side = 7 in

longer side = 12 in

Check:  7 + 7 + 12 + 12 = 38 = perimeter

Minerva starts a savings account with $50. The interest on the account balance is compounded annually. The graph below shows the
rodikova [14]

We can set up this equation using this formula:

a = p(1 + r/n)^nt

p = starting amount.

r = interest.

n = number of times it's compounded in a year

t = years

We'd set it up like this:

a = 50(1 + ?/1)^1(12)

Because we're missing the amount of interest, it would be impossible to tell what the amount would be after 12 years.
