perimiter means all the way around, and im assuming this is a 4-sided shape, so 5+5+4+4 = 18 ft.
Answer:
1) James brother is 10-x years old
2) James was 3 years ago x-3 years old
3) James brother was 3 years ago 7-x years old
4) 3(x-3)=7-x
5) James is 4 years old, his brother is 6 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
3) 10 - x - 3 = 7 - x
5) 3* James age 3 years ago = James brothers age 3 years ago
<=> 3*(x-3) = 7-x
<=> 3x - 9 = 7 - x
<=> 4x = 16
<=> x = 4
Answer:
x = 3 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You could simplify the given equation first, then solve the resulting 2-step linear equation. It might work better to undo the operations done to the variable.
<h3>Solution</h3>
(5 1/6 -x)(2.7) -5 3/4 = -1 1/4 . . . . . given
(5 1/6) -x)(2.7) = 4 1/2 . . . . . . . add 5 3/4 to both sides
(5 1/6 -x) = 4.5/2.7 = 5/3 . . . divide by 2.7
31/6 -10/6 = x . . . . . . . . . . add x-5/3, use common denominators
21/6 = x = 7/2
x = 3 1/2
