Answer: x = -30
Steps: 19 + x/2 = 4
Subtract 19 from both sides: 19 + x/2 - 19 = 4 - 19
Simplify: x/2 = 15
Multiply both sides by two: x/2 (2) = -15 (2)
Simplify: x = -30
Answer:
3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 62
Step-by-step explanation:
3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 is the given expression.
Now, by the rule of BODMAS, where B = Bracket, O= of, D = divide,
M = multiplication, A = addition and S = subtraction
we try and solve the following expression in the same order.
Solving the bracket first, we get
3<u>(7 + 4)</u>2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 3(<u>11</u>)2 − 24 ÷ 6 =<u> 66</u> − 24 ÷ 6
Next, we solve divide,
66 − <u>24 ÷ 6</u> = 66 - <u>4</u>
Next, solving the subtraction, 66 - 4 = 62
Hence, 3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 62
The question is telling you that the length of the rectangle is 3 metres more than twice the width.
So let:
<em>w= width</em>
<em>L= length</em>
Because the length is 3 metres more than twice<em> </em>the width: <em>L= </em><em>2</em><em>w+</em><em>3</em>
They also tell you the perimeter is 48 metres.
<em>P= L+L+w+w</em>
So the equation of the perimeter is:
<em>48= (2w+3)+(2w+3)+2w +2w</em>
<em>48= 2(2w+3) + 4w</em>
To find w, expand and simplify.
<em>48= 4w+6+4w</em>
<em>48= 8w + 6</em>
<em>42= 8w</em>
<em>5.25=w</em>
Now that you know the width, plug in the value into the length equation:
<em>L= 2w+3</em>
<em>L=2(5.25)+3</em>
<em>L=10.50+3</em>
<em>L=13.5</em>
If I am wrong let me know! I hope this helps.
