At centroid medians bisect each other in the ratio 2:1

$\\ \sf\longmapsto OC=2(OD)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(3x-2)=5x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x-4=5x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x-5x=4$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4$

The length of a rectangle is 3 yd longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 50 yd , find its length and width.

leva [86]

Length = w+3
P = 2L +2W
50 = 2(w+3) + 2w
50 = 2w +6 +2w
50 = 4w +6
50-6 =4w-6
44 = 4w
44/4 = 4w/4
w = 11
l = 11+3
l = 14

50 = 2L+2W
50 = 2(14) + 2(11)
50 = 28 +22
50=50

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each one has 10 tenths, so 3 ones have 30 tenths.

You can do this by dividing 3 by 1/10.

3/(1/10) = 3/1 * 10/1 = 30/1 = 30

Can someone help me with this math homework please!

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1st, 2nd and 6th options

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{3}$ - x + $\frac{1}{6}$ = 6x ( multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions )

4 - 6x + 1 = 36x ← option 1 will have the same solution set

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Adding the 2 fractions on the left side gives

$\frac{4}{6}$ + $\frac{1}{6}$ - x = 6x , that is

$\frac{5}{6}$ - x = 6x ← option 2 will have the same solution set

------------------------------------------------------------------------

From

4 - 6x + 1 = 36x ( add 6x to both sides )

5 = 42x ← option 6 will have the same solution set
