perimeter with variables (answer)
Hi Karen; length....x width...(1/2)x-1 perimeter=64 perimeter=2(length+width) 64=2[x+(1/2)x-1] 64=2[(3/2)x-1] 64=3x-2 Add 2 to both sides... 64+2=3x-2+2 66=3x Divide both sides by 3... 66/3=(3x)/3 22=x length...
solving for A (answer)
Hi Sarah; S=(A-RT)/(1-R) This can also be written as... S/1=(A-RT)/(1-R) Cross-multiply... S(1-R)=(1)(A-RT) S(1-R)=A-RT S-SR=A-RT Add RT to both sides... S-SR+RT=A-RT+RT S-SR+RT=A
