Define x :
----------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5 // Length is 5ft longer than twice the width
----------------------------------
Formula for Perimeter :
----------------------------------
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)
----------------------------------
Find Width :
----------------------------------
58 = 2 ( 2x + 5 + x) // Substitute Length and Width into formula
58 = 2 (3x + 5) // Combine like terms
58 = 6x + 10 // Apply distributive property
48 = 6x // Take away 10 from both sides
6x = 48 // Switch sides. Make x the subject
x = 8 // Divide by 6 on both sides
----------------------------------
Find Length and Width :
----------------------------------
Width = x = 8 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(8) + 5 = 21 ft
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 21 ft and the width is 8 ft.

Answer:
The opposite angle is 15 degrees. So that leaves you with 330 degrees for the last two sides which is 115 degrees each.
Answer:
Their weights are:
Dorris = 5 lbs
Borris = 7 lbs
Morris = 9 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weights of the frogs be:
Dorris = d
Borris = b
Morris = m
given:
d + b = 12 - - - (1)
b + m = 16 - - - (2)
d + m = 14 - - - (3)
from (3)
d + m = 14
m = 14 - d - - - (4)
putting the value of m into equation 2:
b + m = 16
b + (14 - d) = 16
b - d + 14 = 16
b - d = 16 - 14
b - d = 2
b = 2 + d - - - - (5)
putting the value of 'b' in equation 5 into equation (1)
d + b = 12 - - - (1)
where: b = 2 + d - - - (5)
∴ d + (2 + d ) = 12
d + d + 2 = 12
2d = 12 - 2
2d = 10
∴ d = 10 ÷ 2 = 5
d = 5
putting the value of 'd' into eqn (5)
b = 2 + d - - - - (5)
where d = 5
b = 2 + 5 = 7
b = 7 lbs
to find 'm', let us use eqn (3)
d + m = 14 - - - (3)
where d = 5
∴ 5 + m = 14
m = 14 - 5 = 9
m = 9 lbs
Therefore their weights are:
Dorris = 5 lbs
Borris = 7 lbs
Morris = 9 lbs
Solving an equation is simply like solving an equation. For this problem, you must add 6 on both sides to get -0.8x alone. -10 + 6 would equal -4. Therefore, the inequality would look like this: -0.8x < -4
Now you have to divide -0.8 on both sides to have x alone. Since you are dividing a negative to the other side, the sign flips to >. When you divide -0.8 to -4, the answer would be 5. So therefore, the answer is: x > 5
In order to check this, you must plug in 5 into the x. -0.8 times 5 would equal -4. -4 - 6 would equal -10. -10 is the same as the other side. (-10 < -10) That means the answer would be correct. Hope this helps; cheers, mimiisawesome5
