[U]Assumptions and givens:[/U] [LIST] [*]The poster has a rectangle shape [*]l = 6 [*]P = 20 [*]The perimeter of a rectangle (P) is: 2l + 2w = P [/LIST] Plugging in our l and P values, we get: 2(6) + 2w = 20 Multiplying through and simplifying, we get: 12 + 2w = 20 To solve for w, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=12%2B2w%3D20&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine [/URL]and we get: w = [B]4[/B]

the result of quadrupling a number is 80 Let our number be x. Quadrupling any number means multiplying it by 4. We have: 4x = 80 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=4x%3D80&pl=Solve']Typing this problem into our search engine[/URL], we get: [B]x = 20[/B]

The sum of the ages of levi and renee is 89 years. 7 years ago levi's age was 4 times renees age. How old is Levi now? Let Levi's current age be l. Let Renee's current age be r. Were given two equations: [LIST=1] [*]l + r = 89 [*]l - 7 = 4(r - 7) [/LIST] Simplify equation 2 by multiplying through: [LIST=1] [*]l + r = 89 [*]l - 7 = 4r - 28 [/LIST] Rearrange equation 1 to solve for r and isolate l by subtracting l from each side: [LIST=1] [*]r = 89 - l [*]l - 7 = 4r - 28 [/LIST] Now substitute equation (1) into equation (2): l - 7 = 4(89 - l) - 28 l - 7 = 356 - 4l - 28 l - 7 = 328 - 4l To solve for l, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=l-7%3D328-4l&pl=Solve']type the equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get: l = [B]67[/B]

The sum of y and six is denoted as: y + 6 We triple that sum by multiplying it by 3 3(y + 6)

two numbers have an average of 2100 and one number is $425 more than the other number. What are the numbers Let the first number be x and the second number be y. We're given two equations: [LIST=1] [*](x + y)/2 = 2100 (Average) [*]y = x + 425 [/LIST] Rearrange equation (1) by cross multiplying x + y = 2 * 2100 x + y = 4200 So we have our revised set of equations: [LIST=1] [*]x + y = 4200 [*]y = x + 425 [/LIST] Substituting equation (2) into equation (1) for y, we get: x + (x + 425) = 4200 Combining like terms, we get: 2x + 425 = 4200 Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=2x%2B425%3D4200&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we get: x = [B]1887.5[/B] Which means using equation (2), we get y = 1887.5 + 425 y = [B]2312.5[/B]

what integer is tripled when 9 is added to 3 fourths of it? Let the integer be n. Tripling an integer means multiplying it by 3. We're given: 3n = 3n/4 + 9 Since 3 = 12/4, we have: 12n/4 = 3n/4 + 9 Subtract 3n/4 from each side: 9n/4 = 9 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/prop.php?num1=9n&num2=9&den1=4&den2=1&propsign=%3D&pl=Calculate+missing+proportion+value']Typing this equation into the search engine[/URL], we get: [B]n = 4[/B]

What is the inverse of dividing by 3 [B]Multiplying by 3[/B] Suppose we have 2 divided by 3: 2/3 To undo this operation to get to 2 again, we'd multiply by 3: 2/3 * 3 = 2

When five people are playing a game called hearts, each person is dealt ten cards and the two remaining cards are put face down on a table. Because of the rules of the game, it is very important to know the probability of either of the two cards being a heart. What is the probability that at least one card is a heart? Probability that first card is not a heart is 3/4 since 4 suits in the deck, hearts are 1/4 of the deck. Since we don't replace cards, the probability of the next card drawn without a heart is (13*3 - 1)/51 = 38/51 Probability of both cards not being hearts is found by multiplying both individual probabilities: 3/4 * 38/51 = 114/204 Having at least one heart is found by subtracting this from 1 which is 204/204: 204/204 - 114/204 = 90/204 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/search.php?q=90%2F204&x=0&y=0']This reduces to[/URL] [B]15/34[/B]

Zalika thinks of a number. She subtracts 6 then multiplies the result by 5. The answer is the same as subtracting 5 from the number then multiplying by 4. The phrase [I]a number[/I] means an arbitrary variable, let's call it x. We're given two expressions in relation to this number (x): [U]She subtracts 6 then multiplies the result by 5[/U] [LIST] [*]Subtract 6: x - 6 [*]Multiply the result by 5: 5(x - 6) [/LIST] [U]She subtracts 5 from the number then multiplying by 4[/U] [LIST] [*]Subtract 6: x - 5 [*]Multiply the result by 5: 4(x - 5) [/LIST] Finally, the expression [I]is the same as[/I] means an equation, so we set the first expression equal to the second expression to make the following equation: 5(x - 6) = 4(x - 5) Now, let's solve the equation for x.
