let L = length and let W = width.

Use the equations 2L + 2W = 2750

and L = 5W + 15

Then do the steps as follows -

1. Plug the equation for what L equals into the first equation

2(5W+15) + 2W = 2750

2. Then distribute the 2

10W + 30 + 2W = 2750

3. Then add like terms

12W + 30 = 2750

4. Then subtract 30 from both sides

12W = 2720

5. Divide by 12 on both sides

W = 226.67

6. Then plug that into the second equation

L = 5(226.67) + 15

L = 1148.35 should be the answer

10. When you add the same number to both sides of an inequality, is the inequality still true? Explain how you know your stateme
avanturin [10]

The inequality is still true! If you add a number, say 5 to both sides of the following inequality, does anything change?

3 < 6

3 + 5 < 6 + 5

8 < 11

The inequality is still true. We know the statement holds for subtracting the same number because, in a way, addition and subtraction are pretty much the same operation. If I subtract 5 from both sides, I can think of it like "I add negative 5 to both sides" or something along those lines. It's kind of backwards thinking.

Factorise<br> 24p2 + pq - 23q²​
Novosadov [1.4K]

<em>24p² + pq - 23q² = </em>

<em>= 24p² + 24pq - 23pq - 23q²</em>

<em>= 24p(p + q) - 23q(p + q)</em>

<em>= (p + q)(24p - 23q)</em>
