Answer:
The sum of all the sides to this quadrilateral will equal a total of 20 inches, so you set up the equation:
2 + 2x + 7 + x + 2 = 20
Solve for x by combining like terms;
(2 + 7 + 2) + (2x + x) = 20
Which simplifies to;
11 + 3x = 20
Get rid of constants;
-11 -11
3x = 9
Isolate x by getting rid of it's coefficient;
/3 /3
<u>x = 3</u>
Now, to find the length of PQ, we plug in the value of x(3) into the equation that contains the line PQ.
x + 2
<u>3</u> + 2
= <u>5 inches.</u>
Now, to find the length of RS, we plug in the value of x(3) into the equation that contains the line RS.
2x
2(3)
= <u>6 inches.</u>
In this item, it is assumed that since the pattern is cut out of the paper which is usually a rectangle then, the shape of the pattern is also rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is,
P = 2L + 2W
The area is equal to,
Area = L x W
If we assume that length and width are equal, in order to maximize the space.
1600 cm² = L x L
The value of L from the equation is 40 cm.
475,805 rounded to the nearest ten thousand would be 476,000.
Answer: 5, 8
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The difference between 3 times a number and -8 is BETWEEN 23 and 32
Note: "difference" means subtraction --> 3x - (-8) --> 3x + 8
23 < 3x + 8 < 32
15 < 3x < 24 <em> subtracted 8 from all 3 sides</em>
--> 5 < x < 8 <em>divided 3 from all 3 sides</em>
