Solve your equation step-by-step.

3(x+1)=−2(x−1)−4


Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x+1)=−2(x−1)−4

Simplify:

3x+3=−2x−2

Add 2x to both sides.

3x+3+2x=−2x−2+2x

5x+3=−2

Subtract 3 from both sides.

5x+3−3=−2−3

5x=−5

Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = −5/5

x=−1

4 5/6 Hope this helps.

You have to find the common denominator for 1/3 & 4/8. & it’s 24. By doing that you have to multiply 3x8, when you do that you also have to multiply 1x 8 so you get 8/24 , same with 4/8 but with three so you get 12/24. Then add your answer 20/24, which equals out to 20/24 which reduces to 5/6. Add 5/6 to 2+2 and you’re left with 4 5/6. Hope this helps.

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width.If the length is decreased by 4 m and the width is increased by 1 m , the perimet
o-na [289]

Answer:

Length = 27 metres

Width = 9 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the width to be x.

Then the length will be 3x.

The perimeter is 66m when the width is increased by 1m and the length is decreased by 4m.

So the dimensions will become:

Length=3x-4

Width=x+1

Now solve for the variable x using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2(l+b)

66 = 2(3x-4+x+1)     (Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the parentheses)

33 = 4x-3      (Add 3 to both sides)

36 = 4x        (Divide both sides by 4)

x = 9

Now plug-in the value of x into the original dimensions which were:

Length=3x

Width=x

So the dimensions are:

Length = 27 metres

Width = 9 metres

I need this answer as soon as possible
wel

The perimeter is the distance all the way around. So it's the sum of the lengths of all 4 sides.

From the picture, you can clearly see the lengths of all 4 sides.
