Answer:

x = 8

length is 12 meters

width is 9 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2l + 2w

where l is the length and w is the width.

(There are two sides with the same length, and two sides with the same width.)

Let l = x + 4 and w = 2x - 7

so 2(x+4) + 2(2x-7) = 42

Distribute the 2s

2x + 8 + 4x - 14 = 42

Combine like terms

2x + 4x + 8 - 14 = 42

Group

6x - 6 = 42

Add 6 to both sides

6x = 48

Divide 6 on both sides

x = 8

Plug back in

l = 8 + 4 = 12 meters

and w = 2(8) - 7 = 16 - 7 = 9 meters

Double-check: 2 * 12 + 2 * 9 = 24 + 18 = 42

S part of a statistic project, a math class weighed all the children who were willing to participate as shown below.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

18 children weighed less than 50 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, adding into the explanation what the heck this kind of a table is. The "stem" column is the tens place of each of the children's weights. The "leaf" is the ones digit of each of the children's weights. So in the row where the stem is 2, there were 2 kids weighing 23 and 25 pounds.

For your question, we have to add up how many students have a weight with a "stem" less than 5, because that's where 50 pounds starts.

8 + 2 + 5 + 3 = 18 children weighed less than 50 pounds.

Isaac invested $77,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 4.6% compounded continuously. Assuming no deposits or withdrawal

zlopas [31]

Answer:

132,090.30

Step-by-step explanation:

r = R/100

r = 4.6%/100

r = 0.046 per year,

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 77,000.00(1 + 0.046/1)(1)(12)

A = $ 132,090.30

Let C, S and H be the diameters of cell, sand and hair

Diameter of a cell: $C=1 \cdot 10^{-5}m$

Diameter of a grain of sand: $S=2 \cdot10^{-4}m$

Part A:

$H=0.000025=2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}$ meters, because it takes 5 movements right of the decimal dot, until there is only one digit to its left.

Part B:

we are comparing $S=2 \cdot10^{-4} m$ to $C=1 \cdot10^{-5} m$ ,

$\frac{S}{C}= \frac{2 \cdot 10^{-4}}{1 \cdot 10^{-5}}=\frac{20 \cdot 10^{-5}}{1 \cdot 10^{-5}}=20$

thus S is 20 times larger than C

Part C

$1m=1 \cdot10^9nm$

thus,

$H=2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m=2.5 \cdot 10^{-5} \cdot 1 \cdot 10^9nm=2.5 \cdot 10^{-5+9}=2.5\cdot10^4nm$

Part D.

$1m=1\cdot 10^9nm\\\\1nm=\displaystyle{ \frac{1m}{10^9}=1\cdot 10^{-9}m}$

thus 300 nm are written in meters as follows:

$300nm= 300\cdot 1\cdot 10^{-9}m=3\cdot 10^2 \cdot 10^{-9}m=3\cdot 10^{-7}m$
