the lenth of a rectangle is twice the width if the permeter is 20 cm find the width

Answers

Answer 1

L = 2W

perimeter = 2( L + W ) = 20 .

2 ( 2W + W ) = 20

6 W = 20

W = 20/6

= 10/3

L = 20/3

Answer 2

Answer:

10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given properties of the rectangle:

The length is twice the width ( So we can say l = 2w ) The perimeter is 20cm

Given this we want to find the width of the perimeter.

Creating a system of equation:

First off we know that perimeter = 2L + 2W

We also know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 20 cm

So we can say that 20 = 2L + 2W

We also know that the length of this rectangle is twice the width or in other words l = 2w

So we have the two equations, 20 = 2l + 2w and l = 2w

Solving the system:

We are going to use the substitution method to solve this system.

The substitution method works when you have two equations, one can be just a plain equation but the other must have one of the variables defined ( by itself on either side of the equal sign )

If you have one of the variables defined, you can plug it in ( substitute ) into the other equation and solve for the other variable.

Plugging in the defined variable into the other equation

Equation : 20 = 2l + 2w

Defined variable : l = 2w

==> plug in l = 2w

20 = 2(2w) + 2w ( now we solve )

==> multiply 2 and 2w

20 = 4w + 2w

==> combine like terms

20 = 6w

==> divide both sides by 6

20/6 = w

==> simplify fraction

10/3  = w

The width = 10/3

Checking our work:

First we must solve for length as well

Solving for length by plugging in width into either equation

l = 2w

==> plug in w = 10/3

l = 2(10/3)

==> multiply 2 and 10/3

l = 20/3

Now to check our we we plug in the length and width into both equations, if both are true then our answer is correct

Equation 1 : 2l + 2w = 20

==> plug in l = 20/3 and w = 10/3

2(20/3) + 2(10/3) = 20

==> simplify multiplication

40/3 + 20/3 = 20

==> add fractions

20 = 20

Equation 2 : l = 2w

==> plug in l = 20/3 and w = 10/3

20/3 = 2(10/3)

==> multiply 2 and 10/3

20/3 = 20/3

Both are correct so our final answer is correct as well! :)

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

given f(x) = 2(3x - 5) and f(x) = 74 , then equating gives

2(3x - 5) = 74 ( divide both sides by 2 )

3x - 5 = 37 ( add 5 to both sides )

For a science project, billy observed a chipmunk and a squirrel stashing acorns in trees. the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each tree. the squirrel hid 4 acorns in each tree. they each hid the same number of acorns, although the squirrel needed 2 fewer trees. you are going to investigate the number of acorns that each animal hid.

Answers

The number of acorns that each animal hid is 48

What is an Equation ?

An equation is formed when two algebraic expressions are equated by an equal sign.

It is asked to calculate the number of acorns that each animal hid.

Total number of acorns hid  =  number of acorns hid per tree * number of trees    

Let   T be the number of trees chipmunk used

For chipmunk:    = 3*T

For squirrel:   = 4*(T-4)

 As both the animals hid same number of acorns.

    3T = 4(T-4)      

    3T = 4T - 16      

      16 = T

Therefore the chipmunk hid 16 * 3 = 48 acorns

and the squirrel hid 4(16-4) = 48 acorns.

Martin order a pizza with a 16-inch diameter. Ricky ordered a pizza with a 20-inch diameter. What is the approximate difference in area of the two pizzas?

A - 50 inches
B - 113 inches
C - 201 inches
D - 452 inches

Answers

Answer:

B. -113 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the radius of the two pizzas. The radius is half of the diameter. So, the first pizza would have a radius of 8 inches, since 8 is half of 16. The second pizza would have a radius of 10 inches, since 10 is half of 20. Then you would use the area formula to find the area of the two pizzas. The area formula is A=3.14R^2. The area of the first pizza is 201.06. The area of the second pizza is 314.16. Then you subtract those two numbers to get -113.1. The answer is -113 inches.

The average vehicle releases 1.39 grams of nox per mile driven. if a vehicle is driven 22,000 miles per year for 15 years, how much nox does that vehicle release

Answers

In 15 years, the average car releases 458.7 kilograms of nox.

How much nox does that vehicle release?

We know that the average vehicle releases 1.39 grams per mile driven.

And, in average, that car drives 22,000 miles per year.

So in a year, a car releases:

M = (22,000)*1.39 g  = 30,580 g = 30.58 kg

In one year, the average car releases around 30.58 kilograms of nox.

Then in 15 years, the car releases 15 times that amount, then we have the product:

T = 15*30.58 kg = 458.7 kg

In 15 years, the average car releases 458.7 kilograms of nox.

For the function f(x) = 3x + 7, find the following:
a) f(2)=
c) f(x) = 8
b) f(-3) =
d) f(x) = 10

Answers

Answer:

a) 13

b) 1/3

c) -2

d) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite simple if you look at it from a different perspective. Imagine that when it says "f(2)" That you are plugging the number 2 in for every x on the right side of the equation:

For example:

f(x) = 3x + 7

f(2) = 3(2) + 7

f(2) = 6 + 7

f(2) = 13

________

f(-3) = 3x + 7

f(-3) = 3(-3) + 7

f(-3) = -9 + 7

f(-3) = 7 - 9 (This is just for those that hate negative values. You can rearrange the values as long as their sign is the same when you do move them. Ex: -14 + 6 - 4 + 9 == 9 + 6 - 14 - 4. I hope that makes sense.

f(-3) = -2

The other way is quite simple as well, if you look at it from a different perspective. Imagine that when it says "f(x) = 8" that you are changing the f(x) to the number 8:

For example:

f(x) = 8

f(x) = 3x + 7

8 = 3x + 7

8 - 7 = 3x

1 = 3x

x = 1/3

f(x)= 10

f(x) = 3x + 7

10 = 3x + 7

10 - 7 = 3x

3 = 3x

3/3 = x

1 = x

I hope this helps!

Answer:

a) 13
b) 1/3
c) -2
d) 1

Step-by-Step Explanation:

=> f(x) = 3x + 7

a) f(2)

Substitute the Value of ‘x’ :-

= 3x + 7
= 3(2) + 7
= 6 + 7
=> 13

Hence, f(2) = 13

b) f(x) = 8

Equate the Function to 8 :-

3x + 7 = 8
3x = 8 - 7
3x = 1
=> x = 1/3

Hence, x = 1/3

c) f(-3)

Substitute the Value of ‘x’ :-

= 3x + 7
= 3(-3) + 7
= -9 + 7
=> -2

Hence, f(-3) = -2

d) f(x) = 10

Equate the Function to 10 :-

3x + 7 = 10
3x = 10 - 7
3x = 3
=> x = 3/3 = 1

Hence, x = 1
