Width=x
length=2x+5
perimeter of a rectangle=2(length)+2(width)
We can suggest this equation:
88=2(2x+5)+2x
88=4x+10+2x
6x=88-10
6x=78
x=78/6
x=13
width=x=13
length=2x+5=2(13)+5=26+5=31
Answer: the width would be 13 cm.
Answer:
if the two lines have the same slope that means they are parallel
I'm here buddy,
so, let's take the value of the two bags with equal weight as x.
= x + x + (x +
) = 
= 3x +
= 
= 3x =
- 
( let's take the LCM of 4 and 5 = 20
= 3x =
- 
= 3x = 
= x =
÷
=
×
= 
So, the weight of the equal bags are
and the weight of the third bag ( heavy one ) is
+
=
+
= 
1st bag =
kg
2nd bag =
kg
3rd bag =
kg
Hope it helps...
Answer: the value of "x" is 4
3(k-x)= -3x-9
3k - 3x = -3x - 9 ← equation without parentheses
3k - 3x + 3x = - 9
3k = -9
k = -9/3
k = -3 ← simplest form
