It would be better to post the problems separately.

5.The Length Of A Rectangle Is Twice The Width. The Perimeter Is 48 Inches.Find The Dimension Of The Rectangle.
---
Equations:
L = 2W
48 = 2(L+W)
----
Substitute for "L" and solve for "W":
48 = 2(2W+W)
48 = 2(3W)
48 = 6W
Width = 8 inches
---
Solve for "L":
L = 2W
L = 2*8 = 16 inches

6.At 10:00 A.M., A Car Leaves House At A Rate Of 60 Mi/h. At The Same Time,Another Car Leaves The Same House At A Rate Of 50 Mi/h In The Opposite Direction.At What Time Will The Cars Be 330 Miles Apart?
---
The two cars are separating at a rate of (60+50) = 110 mph
---
Distance = rate*time
330 = 110*t
t = 330/110 = 3 hrs
---
The cars will be 330 miles apart at 10:00AM + 3 hrs = 1:00PM
