Answer:x=2, x=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+1=11

Subtract 1 from each side

5x=10

Divide each side by 5

x=2

2x-3=2

Add 3 to each side

2x=5

Divide each side by 2

x=2.5

Answer:a)2 .(b) 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 5x + 1 = 11

Substract 1 from both sides

5x + 1 - 1 = 11 - 1

5x = 10

x = 10/5

x = 2.

b). 2x - 3 = 2

Add 3 to both sides

2x - 3 + 3 = 2 +3

2x = 5

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=4\pm2\sqrt6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-6x+12=2x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{and}\ 12\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2-8x=8\\\\x^2-2(x)(4)=8\qquad\text{add}\ 4^2=16\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2=8+4^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-4)^2=24\iff x-4=\pm\sqrt{24}\\\\x-4=\pm\sqrt{4\cdot6}\\\\x-4=\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt6\\\\x-4=\pm2\sqrt6\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\x=4\pm2\sqrt6$

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 26 inches. What is the width

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

w= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.

L= 2w - 5

I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.

L = 2(6) - 5

L = 12-5

L = 7

Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.

7(2)= 14

Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.

26 - 14 = 12

Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.

12/2 = 6

I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)
