If one value is inversely proportional to another then it is written using the proportionality symbol in a different way. Inverse proportion occurs when one value increases and the other decreases. For example, more workers on a job would reduce the time to complete the task. They are inversely proportional.

the lenght of a rectangle is 2 cm less than 7 times the width. the perimeter is 60 cm . find the width and lenght
vampirchik [111]
First, you want to establish your equations.

L=7W-2
P=60

This is what we already know. To find the width, we have to plug in what we know into P=2(L+W), our equation to find perimeter.

60=2(7W-2+W)

Now that we only have 1 variable, we can solve.

First, distribute the 2.
60=14W-4+2W

Next, combine like terms.

60=16W-4

Then, add four to both sides.

64=16W

Lastly, divide both sides by 16


W=4

To find the length, we plug in our width.

7W-2

7(4)-2

28-2

L=26
