The length of a rectangle is 5 less than 3 times its width. The perimeter is
78. Find the LENGTH.*

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length is 28 and the width is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can make the width as x.

Since the length is 5 less than 3 times the width, it's going to be 3x - 5

So now we've got the length and width, just need to find the perimeter, which is all the sides added up together. They already gave us the perimeter, so we just have to solve the equation:

2(3x - 5) + 2x = 78

6x - 10 + 2x = 78

8x - 10 = 78

8x = 88

x = 11

x = 11, but remember, x is the width, not the length. Since we already found what x is, we just have to plug it into the equation of:

3x - 5

3 × 11 - 5

33 - 5 = 28

Answer: Length = 28 (don't forget to add the unit if there is one)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]c = 2\sqrt{5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 2[/tex]

[tex]b = 4[/tex]

c = hypotenuse

Required

Find c

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2[/tex]

Substitute values for a and b

[tex]c^2 = 2^2 + 4^2[/tex]

[tex]c^2 = 4 + 16[/tex]

[tex]c^2 = 20[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides:

[tex]c = \sqrt{20[/tex]

Express 20 as 4 * 5

[tex]c = \sqrt{4 * 5[/tex]

Split surd

[tex]c = \sqrt{4} * \sqrt{5[/tex]

Take square root of 4

[tex]c = 2 * \sqrt{5[/tex]

[tex]c = 2\sqrt{5[/tex]

The sum of two numbers is 105. The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller
number. What are the numbers?

Answers

Answer: x=68, y=37

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the sum of two numbers is 105 would be x+y=105. You can say the larger number would be x and the smaller would be y. So, x=2y-6. then you plug that into the x in the first equation.

2y-6+y=105

3y-6=105

3y=111

y=37

Then you would plug in the y to one of the equations. I will do the second one but you can do either one.

x=2y-6

x=2*37-6

x=74-6

x=68

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Add like terms

3x + 13 = 10x

3x = 10x - 13 (subtraction property of equality)

3x - 10x = - 13 (substraction property of equality)

-7x = -13

-7x = -13/-7 (division property of equality)

x = 13/7

b. 6j - 12 + 4j - 8 = 10

Add like terms

10j = 30

10j/10 = 30/10 (division property of equality)

j = 3

c. 10y - 4y = 14 + 2y - 3y

Answer:

a^x.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a^x / log a

Assuming the log is to the base e:

y = (1/ log a) * a^x

Derivative of a^x:

Let u = a^x

log u = log a^x

log u = x log a

1/u * du/dx = log a

du/dx =  = u * log a

y = (1 / log a) * u

so  dy/du = 1/log a

and dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx

=  (1/log a )* log a u

= u

= a^x.

Three friends pay 1025 to rent a vacation home. Beth contributed $80 more than danny. Katie contributed $20 less than Beth. How much did Danny contribute?

Answers

Answer:

Danny contributed $295

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Danny contributed $x

Danny contributed x

∵ Beth contributed $80 more than Danny

→ Add The amount of Danny by $80 to get the amount od Beth

Beth contributed x + 80

∵ Katie contributed $20 less than Beth

→ Subtract the amount of Beth by 20 to get the amount of Katie

∴ Katie contributed x + 80 - 20

Katie contributed x + 60

∵ The three friends pay $1025

→ Add their amounts and equate the sum by 1025

x + x + 80 + x + 60 = 1025

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (x + x + x) + (80 + 60) = 1025

∴ 3x + 140 = 1025

→ Subtract 140 from both sides

∴ 3x + 140 - 140 = 1025 - 140

∴ 3x = 885

→ Divide both sides by 3

x = 295

∵ x represents the amount of Danny contributed

Danny contributed $295

Ms. McGuirk wants to know if she built her son's new sandbox with a perfect right angle or not? The shorter sides are 15 feet and 8 feet what should the measure of the 3rd side be to make it a perfect right angle?

Answers

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle has 3 sides: the adjacent, the opposite and the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse is the largest side of the right angle

The shorter sides are 15 feet and 8 feet which should represent opposite and adjacent sides respectively

Opposite = 15 feet

Adjacent = 8 feet

Hypotenuse = x feet

Using Pythagoras theorem to solve

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

x² = 15² + 8²

x² = 225 + 64

x² = 289

Find the square root of both sides

√x² = √289

x = 17 feet

The 3rd side is 17 feet
