Answer:
The dimension of this rectangle = 2mm by 21mm
Where 2 mm = Width of the rectangle
21 mm = Length of the rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
= 2L + 2W
The perimeter = 46 mm
L = 3x + 3
W = x - 4
P = 2L + 2W
46mm = 2(3x + 3) + 2(x - 4)
46 = 6x + 6 + 2x - 8
Collect like terms
46 +8 -6 = 6x + 2x
48 = 8x
x = 48/8
x = 6
Since the Length = 3x + 3
= 3(6) + 3
= 18 + 3
= 21mm
Since the Width = x - 4
= 6 - 4
= 2mm
Therefore, the dimension of this rectangle = 2mm by 21mm
Where 2 mm = Width of the rectangle
21 mm = Length of the rectangle.
Answer:
20/7 days (just less than 3 days)
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that (1 job) = (rate)(time), so time = (1 job) / (rate).
Set up and solve the following equation:
1 job
------------------------------- = time required for 2 pumps working together
1 job 1 job
---------- + -------------
4 days 10 days
This comes out to:
1 job
------------------------------------------- = time required
10 job-days 4 job-days
------------------ + -----------------
40 days 40 days
or:
1 job
-------------------- = (40/14) days, or 20/7 days (just less than 3 days)
14 job·days
-----------------
40 days
No
5*x= x (correct)
5*1=5 (incorrect)
When I say correct or incorrect it means that it does/doesn’t match 5x+1
