the length of a rectagle is 5 in longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 56 in, find its length and width
1 answer:
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

63 students. To solve, you first ned to determine the total cost for each student by adding 300 and 5, which equals $305. You then need to see how many times $305 will go into $19215, which shows how many students went. $19215 divided by $305 equals 65.
Answer:
Y>-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 11 to both sides and divide
1) Take 18 and multiply it by 5 = 90 2) Then subtract 26 = 64 3) Then subtract 18 = 46 4) Then subtract 12 = 34 5) Then subtract 8 = 26 The answer is 26.
