-4 = b
Solve:
The length of a rectangle is 5 cm. more than the width. Find the length and width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 34 cm.
Width=6
Length=11
WORK
x+5+x+x+5+x=34
4x+10=34
4x=24
x=6 width
x+5= length
6+5=11
Solve for x:
(x + 4) + 2x = 67
x = 21
WORK
(x + 4) + 2x = 67
x + 2x + 4 = 67 [addition is commutative]
3x + 4 = 67
3x + 4 - 4= 67 - 4
3x = 63
3x/3 = 63/3
x = 21
Solve:
The length of a rectangle is 3 cm. more than twice the width. Find the length if the perimeter of the rectangle is 18 cm.
2x+3+x+2x+3+x=18
6x+6=18
6x=12
x=2 width
2(2)+3= 7 length
Solve for x:
-8(2x - 1) = 36
x = -7/4
WORK
-8(2x - 1) = 36
-16x + 8 = 36 [Distributive Property]
-16x + 8 - 8 = 36 - 8
-16x = 28
-16x/(-16) = 28/(-16)
x = -7/4
Solve for p:
5p=3p + 8
p = 4
Write an equation and simplify it for the following:
(You don't need to solve it)
The length of a rectangle is 6 in. more than 3 times the width. Find the length and width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 60in.
8x+12=60
Solve for x:
x/7+3=10
x=49
Solve for x:
3.5 - 0.02x = 1.24
x = 113
WORK
3.5 - 0.02x = 1.24
100*(3.5 - 0.02x) = 1.24*100
350 - 2x = 124 [Distributive Property]
350 - 350 - 2x = 124 - 350
-2x/(-2) = -226/(-2)
x = 113
The larger of two numbers is 4 more than the smaller number. If the sum of the two numbers is 48, find the numbers.
Larger number 26.
Solve for x:
-24 = -10x + 3
x = 2.7
WORK
-24 = -10x + 3
-24 - 3= -10x + 3 - 3
-27 = -10x
-27/(-10)=-10x/(-10)
2.7 = x
Solve for x:
2x+5x-6=8
x=2
The larger of two numbers is 5 more than twice the smaller number. If the sum of the two numbers is 29, find the numbers.
