The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to 10. If the length is halved and the width is doubled, the new perimeter is increased by
4. What
is the length of the original rectangle?
4 1 2 3
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call x the lenght and y the height. The perimeter will be:
p = 2x + 2y = 10
When the lenght is halved and the height double we'll have:
p = x + 4y = 14
These 2 equations form a system of equations2 that can be solved and give as result:
y = 3
x = 2

Answer:
The red will cost him more by $2.21
Step-by-step explanation:
First you multiply the amount of gallons of grey paint and the cost and you get 24.59 x 3= 73.77
The do the same for red
37.99 x 2= 75.98
the red is going to cost him more by 75.98-73.77= $2.21
Answer:
answer = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute y as -3 and z as 4
3(-3) - 2(4) + 5
-9-8+5
-17+5
-12
Answer:
so 1/3 must be subtracted from the sum of 1/4 and 1/6 to have an average of 1/12 of all the two fractions.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the fraction be x
(1/4 + 1/6)-x = 1/12
or, 10/24 - x = 1/12
or, 5/12-1/12 = x
so, x = 4/12 = 1/3
