The perimeter of a rectangle is 42 inches. If the length of the rectangle is 14 inches, which equation could be used to find the width, x? A. 2(x + 14) = 42 B. x + 2(14) = 42 C. 14(x + 2) = 42 D. x + 14 = 42

Answers

Answer 1
A. 2(x+14) = 42

(2x = 14
  x = 7

2(7) + 2(14) = 14 + 28 = 42)

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A is correct

equation [tex]2(x+14)=42[/tex] could be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of a rectangle [tex](l)[/tex] is 14 inches and perimeter of rectangle is 42 inches.

Perimeter(P)of a rectangle in inches is given by:

[tex]P= (2l+w)[/tex] ; where [tex]l[/tex]  is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle.

Substitute the value of  P=42 inches , w =x inches and [tex]l = 14[/tex] inches in the above formula we get;

[tex]42 = 2 \cdot (14+x)[/tex]

Divide by 2 on both sides  we get;

[tex]21 = 14+x[/tex]

On simplify, we get;

x = 21-14 = 7 inches

therefore, the width of the rectangle is, x = 7 inches

Check :

Substitute the value of x =7 in option A.

[tex]2(x+14) =42[/tex]

[tex]2(7+14)=42[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot 21 =42[/tex]

42 = 42      

Hence, the only equation that could be used to find the width, x is,  [tex]2(x + 14) = 42[/tex]

Dalia is installing a tile floor in a rectangular room. Dalia has 152152152 tiles available to tile the room. If each row requires 9\large\frac{1}{2}9 ​2 ​ ​1 ​​ 9, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction tiles, and 191919 tiles break while Dalia is laying the floor, how many full rows of unbroken tile can she install before running out of tiles?

Answers

For this case we have.
 "Dalia has 152 tiles available to tile the room"
 "19 tiles break while Dalia is laying the floor,"
 So:
 152-19 = 133 tiles available.
 Then,
 "If each row requires 9 1/2 tiles"
 We have then that the number of rows is:
 N = 133 / (9 1/2)
 N = 14 rows
 Answer:
 she can install 14 full rows of unbroken tile before running out of tiles

Two thirds of the employees at an office stated that they preferred soft cookies over crispy cookies. More than 36 employees stated their preference. Ren was asked to write, solve, and graph an inequality to find the number of employees working at the office. His work is shown below.

Answers

Answer:

Step 3 is wrong, he used the wrong circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

To determine the minimum number of employees, solve the inequality 2/3 x > 36 to find x > 54. In Miguel's cookie choice, the events are dependent. According to the law of large numbers, probabilities stabilize as the number of trials increases.

Explanation:

The question involves solving and graphing an inequality to find the minimum number of employees in an office based on their preferences for soft cookies. Since two thirds prefer soft cookies and more than 36 employees stated their preference, we can write this as an inequality where x represents the total number of employees: 2/3 x > 36. To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 3/2, giving us x > 54. This tells us that there must be more than 54 employees in the office.

To graph the inequality, we would draw a number line, plot a point just above 54, and shade to the right to indicate all the numbers that are greater than 54. The question of dependent probabilities relates to Miguel's cookie selection where each choice affects the next; the events are not independent. Finally, the law of large numbers indicates that as the number of trials n increases, the experimental probabilities tend to get closer to the theoretical probabilities.

Mary leaves her house to take a walk. The graph shows the distance, d, in feet from her house that Mary is at any given time, t, in minutes. How many minutes has Mary walked when she reaches the farthest point from her house

Answers

You haven't provided the graph, therefore, I cannot provide you with a specific solution for this question.
However, I will tell you how to solve it and you can apply on the graph you have.

Now, we are given that:
x-axis represents the distance in ft
y-axis represents the time in minutes

To get the time that she has walked when she reaches the farthest point from her house, all you have to do is:
1- go to the greatest point on the x-axis. This point would be representing the farthest distance.
2- get the value of the y corresponding to the x-point you got in step one. This would be the time walked when she reaches the farthest point which is the value you are looking for.

Answers

D is the only equivalent equation because

2b+3c = 2b + 3c

Answer:

D. b+b+3c and 2b+3c

Step-by-step explanation:

The question wants us to find out expressions is equivalent for any variable value greater than zero. So let's analyse all the possible answers to find the correct one.

A. (x+3) and 3x+ 2

If x = 1 , we have:

(x+3) = 4 3x+2 = 5

Both of the two sides are not equivalent

B. 4d+2e and 8d+e

If e=1 and d=1, we have:

4d+2e = 88d+e = 9

Both of the two sides are not equivalent

C. f+f+f+g and 3fg

If f=1 and g=1, we have:

f+f+f+g = 43fg  = 3

Both of the two sides are not equivalent

D. b+b+3c and 2b+3c

If b=1 and c=1, we have:

b+b+3c = 52b+3c = 5

Both of the two sides are  equivalent

Or we will simplify the left side: b+b+3c = 2b+3c, hence 2b+3c = 2b+3c are apparent

So we choose D.

Orlando bought a new couch for 2,736, using the furniture store's finance plan. He will pay $114 a month for 24 months. Which equation can Orlando use to find out how much money he still owes after each month of the plan?

Answers

x: months

y: debts after each month

y = $2736 - $114 * x

I hope this is self-explanatory.

Answer:

[tex]y = 2736 - 114x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the cost of the couch was $2,736. Orlando bought that couch using furniture store's finance plan. The plan says that he is supposed to pay $114 per month for a period of 24 months.

we are asked to determine the equation which can determine the total amount still due on orlando after x number of months.

Let the total number of month we are calculating = x

Payment per month = $114

Hence payment made in x months = $114x

Hence payment still owned by Orlando = $2736-$114x

Above equation gives us the dues on Orlando

Suppose that x and y vary inversely and x = 1 when y = 12. Write a function that models the inverse variation. Graph the function and find y when x = 20.

Write a function that models the inverse variation.

Answers

An inverse variation in its generic form can be for example:
 y = k / x
 We observe that we must find the value of k.
 For this, we use the following fact:
 "x = 1 when y = 12"
 Substituting we have:
 12 = k / 1
 Therefore k = 12
 Thus, the equation is:
 y = 12 / x
 For x = 20 we have:
 y = 12/20
 y = 6/10
 y = 3/5
 y = 0.6
 Answer:
 when x = 20, and is:
 y = 0.6

a triangular plot of land has boundary lines 45 meters, 60 meters, and 70 meters long. the 60 meter boundary line runs north-south. Is there a property for the boundary line that runs east-west

Answers

Final answer:

No, there is no property for the boundary line that runs east-west.

Explanation:

No, there is no property for the boundary line that runs east-west. This is because if we have a triangle with side lengths 45 meters, 60 meters, and 70 meters, and the 60 meter side runs north-south, then the other two sides must be at an angle to the north-south line. It is not possible for one of the sides to be parallel to the north-south line (east-west) because that would create a rectangle rather than a triangle.
