Assuming a regularly shaped rectangle, the formula for the
area is given as:
A = L * W
where L and W are the length and width respectively
A = 3.6 x 10^2 miles * 2.8 x 10^2 miles
A = 100,800 square miles
or
<span>A = 10.08 x 10^2 miles</span>
The answer to life, the universe and everything is 42.
I got 595 for surface area
You multiply each side like an individual shape.
You can subtract 4x from each side of the equation.
Then you'll have the variable only on one side.
Before: 5x - 7 = 4x - 1
After: x - 7 = - 1
Now it's a lot easier to solve.
========================================
I just noticed that you're giving 10 points for this one.
That's a bunch, so I guess I owe you some more ...
I really ought to go ahead and finish the solution:
Original equation: 5x - 7 = 4x - 1
Subtract 4x from each side: x - 7 = - 1
Add 7 to each side: x = 6
(Once you subtracted 4x from each side,
there really wasn't much more left to do.)
Answer:
Here
Step-by-step explanation:
length = x
width = 2x - 3
Perimeter = 2length + 2 width
2x + 2(2x - 3) = 42
2x + 4x - 6 =42
6x - 6 = 42
Add 6 to both sides
6x = 48
Divide both sides by 6
x = 8
Length = 8 inches
Width = 2(8) - 3 = 16-3 = 13 inches
