Kruka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula is P = 2L + 2W. If the perimeter is given as 68 feet, then our P will be filled in with 68. If the length is "5 inches shorter than twice the width" is an expression that looks like this, keeping in mind that "shorter" means subtraction, "twice" means doubled, and the word "is" means equals:

L = "length is"

2W is "twice the width"

5 inches shorter is " - 5". Putting it all together:

L = 2W - 5. Now we can fill in the perimeter formula:

68 = 2W + 2(2W - 5) and

68 = 2W + 4W - 10 and

68 = 6W - 10 and

78 = 6W so

W = 13. The width is 13 inches and the length is

L = 2(13) - 5 so the length is

L = 21 inches.

Jay sells 10 packs of apples for 80p. He wants to make £75 at the end of the year. How many packs of apples does he need to sell
ipn [44]

Answer:

937.5 packs of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

100p = £1

80p = x

Cross Multiply

100x = 80p × £1

x = 80/100

x = £0.8

Jay sells 10 packs of apples for 80p.

Hence:

£0.8 = 10 packs of apples

£75 = x

Cross Multiply

£0.8 × x = £75 × 10 Packs

x = £75 × 10 Packs/£0.8

x = 937.5

Therefore, to make £75 at the end of the year, he has to sell 937.5 packs of apples

Find the solution to the equation shown below.<br><br> –3.4(x – 2) = 9.8 – 4x
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

X= 5

Explanation (Steps):

<u>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.</u>

−3.4(x−2)=9.8−4x

(−3.4)(x)+(−3.4)(−2)=9.8+−4x(Distribute)

−3.4x+6.8=9.8+−4x

−3.4x+6.8=−4x+9.8

<u>Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.</u>

−3.4x+6.8+4x=−4x+9.8+4x

0.6x+6.8=9.8

<u>Step 3: Subtract 6.8 from both sides.</u>

0.6x+6.8−6.8=9.8−6.8

0.6x=3

<u>Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.6.</u>

0.6x0.6=3/0.6

x=5
