Answer:

The length is 18 and the width is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the rectangle are

Width: x-2

Length: x

To find the perimeter get all 4 sides and add them all up

x-2+x-2+x+x=68

4x-4=68

x=18

The length is 18 and the width is 16

What is the value of C?<br>14 = -2C - 6 – 3C <br>​
icang [17]

Answer:

C = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms (terms with the same amount of variables):

14 = -2C - 3C - 6

14 = (-2C - 3C) - 6

14 = (-5C) - 6

Isolate the variable, C. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents & Roots

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction.

First, add 6 to both sides:

14 (+6) = -5C - 6 (+6)

14 + 6 = -5C

-5C = 20

Next, divide -5 from both sides:

(-5C)/-5 = (20)/-5

C = 20/-5

C = -4

-4 is your value for C.

I NEED HELP (I’m sooo dumb lol)

To make a box and whisker plot, first you write down all of the numbers from least to greatest.

0, 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10

The median is 4, so that’s the middle line of the plot.

So now we have:
0, 1, 3, [4,] 7, 8, 10

So next we have to find the 1st and 3rd interquartiles..
0, [1,] 3, [4,] 7, [8,] 10

Those are the next 2 points you put on the plot.

Lastly, the upper and lower extremes. These are the highest and lowest numbers in the data.
[0,] 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, [10]

These are the final points on the plot.

To make the box of a box-and-whisker plot, you plot the 3 Medians of the data: 1, 4, and 8, and connect those to make a box that has a line in the middle at 4.

Next, you plot the upper and lower extremes: 0 and 10, by making “whiskers” that connect to the box. So you draw a line from the extremes to the box.

Which ordered pair (a, b) is a solution to the given system of linear equations? -2a+3b=14
Stels [109]

Answer:

The solution of the system is the ordered pair (-13,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-2a+3b=14 -----> equation A

a-4b=3 ----> equation B

Solve the system by elimination

Multiply by 2 both sides equation B

2(a-4b)=2(3)

2a-8b=6 ----> equation C

Adds equation A and equation C

-2a+3b=14\\2a-8b=6\\-------\\3b-8b=14+6\\-5b=20\\b=-4

<em>Find the value of a</em>

substitute the value of b in any equation (i take equation B)

a-4(-4)=3

a+16=3

a=-13

therefore

The solution of the system is the ordered pair (-13,-4)
