Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle = x

As length is 5 inches longer than width, we have to add 5 to width

Length = x + 5

Perimeter of ractangle = 56 in

2* (length + width) = 56

2*( x + 5 + x) = 56

2* (2x + 5)    = 56

Use distributive property: a*(b +c) =(a*b) + (a * c)

2*2x + 2*5   = 56

4x  + 10 = 56

Subtract 10 from both sides

4x = 56- 10

4x = 46

Divide both sides by 4

x = 46/4

x = 11.5

Width = 11.5 in

length = 11.5 + 5

            = 16.5 in

Sam borrows $5700 at 4.5% simple interest for 3 years. Find the interest
kherson [118]

Answer:

The interest is

<h2>$ 769.50</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest is given by

I =   \frac{P \times  R  \times T}{100}

where

P is the principal

R is the rate

T is the time given

From the question

The principal / P = $ 5700

The rate / R = 4.5%

The time given / T = 3 years

So the interest is

I  =  \frac{5700  \times 4.5 \times 3}{100}

I =  \frac{76950}{100}

We have the final answer as

I = $ 769.50

Hope this helps you
