Answer:

Width = 12in, Length = 17in

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two expressions from the given statements:

1) L (length) = 5 + W (width)

and

2) 58 = 2L + 2W (the equation for rectangular perimeter)

Substituting L from the first equation into the second equation yields:

58 = 2(5+W) + 2W

Distributing the 2 and solving for W yields:

12in = W

Plug this back into the first expression,

L = 5 + 12

L = 17in

Answer:

width = 12 in

length = 17 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle = x

⇒ length of rectangle = x + 5

Given:

  • Perimeter = 58 in

Perimeter = 2 × width + 2 × length

⇒ 58  = 2x + 2(x + 5)

⇒ 58  = 2x + 2x + 10

⇒ 58  = 4x + 10

⇒ 48  = 4x

⇒ x = 12

Therefore,

width = x = 12 in

length = x + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 in

Hello, <span> <span> schrklar </span> a way to do this is divide the oz by the number, $ 2.00 /</span> 8 = 0.25
$ 2.64 / 12 = 0.22 and $ 3.20 / 16 = 0.2. So the correct answer would be, <span>8 oz for $2.00.</span>

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!! please help me!!
Maru [420]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

The parallelogram area formula is  b*h  just like a square but the height is the distance from the base to the parallel top .. not the side length.. that's the only difference.

the base is  x+4

total area is 5x+20

so use those in our formula

area = b*h

5x+20 = x+4 * h   now solve for h   (yes we'll have an x in the other side, but that's okay b/c their formulas do also)

(5x + 20) / (x+4) = h

B)

area = b*h

8x-24 = b*8

(8x-24)/8 = b

8x/8  - 24/8  = b

x -3 = b

C)

area = b * h

12x + 6y = 6 * h

(12x + 6y) / 6 = h

12x/6  + 6y/6  = h

2x + y = h

voila you're don :)

tim has 30 jellybeans, with equal numbers of three flavors—raspberry, pineapple, and orange. he likes raspberry the best. so far
Sloan [31]
There are 20 jellybeans remaining after the 6 orange and 4 pineapple jellybeans have been eaten.
Therefore 10 of the 20 remaining jellybeans must be raspberry. So there is a 1 in2 chance that the next one picked will be raspberry.
