Answer:
width = 6
length = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter = 2L + 2W
L = W - 2
plug in perimeter:
20 = 2L + 2W
you know the length is 2 less than the width
plug in (w - 2) for L:
20 = 2(w - 2) + 2w
solve for w:
20 = 2w - 4 + 2w
20 = 4w - 4
4w = 24
w = 6
now plug in 6 for w in either equation, whichever is easier to solve:
L = 6 - 2
L = 4
width = 6
length = 4
Either 7x or -3x hope this helps hun!!
6 (7x - 3)
You have to factor 6 out of 42x - 18.
Hope this Helps!!
Answer is 7
Step by step explanation
3x+159=180
3x=180-159=21
x=7
Attention:THIS IS PART B <em>ONLY!</em>
First,find the unit rate.
35/2 and <em>x</em>/1
35 divided by 2 = 17.5 so the unit rate for J.K. is 17.5 pages per hour.
now,R.L.
45/3 and <em>x</em>/1
45 divided by 3 = 15 so the unit rate for R.L. is 15 pages per hour
now we need to divide 355 by 17.5 and divide it by 15.Whichever quotient is smaller,finishes the book first
355 divided by 17.5 = about 20 hrs----J.K.
355 divided by 15 = about 24 hrs-----R.L.
So,who read faster?
