The length of a rectangle is (2x+3) and the width is x-5. If the perimeter is 44cm what is the length of the rectangle?

Perimeter = 2x length + 2x width.

2(2x+3) + 2(x-5) = 44

Simplify:

4x + 6 +2x -10 = 44

Combine like terms:

6x -4 = 44

Add 4 to both sides:

6x = 48

Divide both sides by 6:

X = 8

Now replace x with 8 in the equation for length:

2x + 3 = 2(8) +3 = 16 + 3 = 19 cm

Length = 19 cm

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
