Answer:

The first task in a word problem is to translate it into symbols.

First, give a name to each quantity:

Let w be the width of the rectangle

Notice the length = w+3

Let a be the area of the rectangle

Let p be the perimeter of the rectangle

Next, write down formulas relating the quantities

Step-by-step explanation:

a = w * (w+3)

p = 2w + 2(w+3)

We know p = 42, so

42 = 2w + 2(w+3)

im sure you know how to simplify and solve for w:

42 = 4w + 6

4w = 36

w = 9

now you’re ready to attack the area

a = w * (w+3) = 9 * (9+3)

can you take it from there?

In a basketball tournament, team A scored 6 more points than 3 times as many points as team B scored. Team C scored 45 more poin

velikii [3]

Answer:

"Team C scored 130 points."

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how many points team B scored.

Team A: 3x + 6

Team B: x

Team C: x + 45

Total: 476 points

476 = (x) + (3x + 6) + (x + 45)

476 = x + 3x + 6 + x + 45

476 = 5x + 51

425 = 5x

x = 85

Team A:

3(85) + 6

= 261 pts

Team B:

= 85 pts

Team C:

(85) + 45

= 130 points

Sushil, Alex and Peter share some sweets in the ratio 3:2:5. Sushil gets 24 sweets. How many sweets are there altogether?

Goshia [24]

80 because if you divide 24 by 3 and multiply it by 2, you get the second value (16), then divide 24 by 3 and multiply it by five, you get the third value (40). Then you add all three values (24,16,40) and you get 80

You have found that the force of the wagon is F = 45(cos 15° i + sin 15° j) and the displacement of the wagon is v = 45i. Use th

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1956.2 ft-lb

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that force of the wagon

$F=45(cos 15^{\circ}+sin 15^{\circ} J)$

Displacement of the wagon =45 i

We know that

Work done, W= $F\cdot v$

Substitute the values then we get

$W=45(cos 15^{\circ}+sin 15^{\circ} J)\cdot 45i$

$W= 2025 15^{\circ}$

$W=2025\times 0.966$

$w=1956.2 ft- lb$

Hence, Work done on the wagon=1956.2 ft-lb
