Step-by-step explanation:

The first possibility

2(width) + 2(length) = perimeter

2(3x-3) + 2(length) = 10x+6

6x - 6 + 2(length) = 10x+6

2(length) = 4x + 12

length = 2x + 6

The second possibility.

rondhesha chodado in The width of a rectangle is 3x – 3. Its perimeter is 10x + 6. Find the length of the rectangle.

So you have the perimeter, P, can be found by doing u+u+v+v.

Simplifying gives:

P=2u+2v.

You are given the width is (3x-3).  Choose this to be u or v but not both.

Perimeter is given a (10x+6).

Let's plug this in:

(10x+6)=2(3x-3)+2v

We are solving for v.

First step: Distribute where you can:

10x+6=6x-6+2v

Now we want to isolate v.

So we will need to subtract (6v-6) on both sides:

 (10x+6)=2v

- (6x -6)

----------------------

4x+12  =2v

The right hand side contains a factor of 2.

The left hand side does too since 4x+12 can be factored as 2(2x+6).

2(2x+6)=2v

This implies v is 2x+6.

Let's check our work.

We have two sides with measurement 2x+6:  (2x+6)+(2x+6)=4x+12

We have two sides with measurement 3x-3:   (3x-3)+(3x-3)=  6x-6

Let's add those sums to find the perimeter:                             10x+6

That is the intended

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So \triangle ABC and \triangle ABD Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

  • We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

{\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}

  • Substitutethe values

\longrightarrow\sf b^2=10^2-p^2

\longrightarrow\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}

\longrightarrow\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}

\longrightarrow\bf b={\sqrt {36}}

\longrightarrow\sf b=6

\therefore\overline{BC}=6cm

  • BD=BC+CD

\longrightarrowBD=9+6

\longrightarrowBD=15cm

  • Now in \triangle ABD

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

  • We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

{\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}

  • Substitute the values

\longrightarrow\sf h^2=8^2+15^2

\longrightarrow\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}

\longrightarrow\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}

\longrightarrow\sf h={\sqrt {289}}

\longrightarrow\sf h=17cm

\therefore{\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}

4 friends evenly divided up an n-slice pizza. One of the friends, Harris, ate 1 fewer slice than he received.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

4 friends evenly divided up a n -slice pizza.

So, the number of slices each friend received = n/4

Now, Harrison ate 1 fewer slice than he received. As he received n/4 slices, so 1 fewer than n/4 means......

Harrison ate n/4-1 slices of pizza.

Tell whether the two quantities vary directly. Explain your reasoning. The cafeteria provides three meals per day.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The cafeteria provides three meals per day.

<u>Reason 1</u>

Yes, they vary directly  

As number of days increases ,Total number of meals i.e

1st day ⇒ 3

2nd day⇒6

3 rd day⇒9

4th day⇒12

......................

.........................

increases.

Total number of Meals = k×Number of days

But there is another possibility also

<u>Reason 2</u>

1 st day ⇒ 3

2nd day ⇒3

3rd day⇒ 3

.....................

.....................

As you can see from the above expression On each day number of meals is  

constant.

So we can say that ,

On each Day=Constant amount of meal=3

So, there is no Proportionality between Days and Meal.
