Perimeter would be the sum of all the sides so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w
Perimeter is 60 yards according to your problem so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w = 60 yds
1.Simplify/combine like terms:
w + 4 + w + w + 4 + w =
4w + 8 =
Now it's a 2-step algebra equation
4w + 8 = 60
2.Subtract 8 on both sides
4w = 56
3.Divide both sides by 4
w = 14
5 of the planets are earth like and 2 are mars like
5 * 2 = 10
<u>1 * 2 = 2</u>
Total 12
4 earth like and 4 mars like
Earth = 4*2 = 8
<u>Mars = 4 * 1 = 4</u>
Total 12
3 Like Earth 6 like mars
Earth 3 * 2 = 6
<u>Mars 6 * 1 = 6</u>
Total 12
Those answers are the only ones possible.
Remember: PEMDAS - Parentheses, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract
Distribute: 9(1+x) = 9+9x
19 - 5x = 9 + 9x
Add 5x to both sides of the equation and subtract 9 from both sides.
19 - 5x + (5x) = 9 + 9x + (5x)
19 - (9) = 9 - (9) + 14x
10 = 14x
Divide both sides by 14 to get the variable on its own.
10/14 = 14x/14
10/14=x
5/7 = x
