You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The perimeter equals to the sum of two widths and two lengths. The generic formula would be: \"p=2w%2B2l\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let p=perimeter, w=width, and l=length.
\n" ); document.write( "Since p=1280, and w=l-90, we can say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1280=2%28l-90%29%2B2l\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let's solve for l...
\n" ); document.write( "\"1280=2l-180%2B2l\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1280%2B180=2l%2B2l\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1460=4l\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1460%2F4=l\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"l=365\" <--- one lenght measures 365 miles
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let's find the width:
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=l-90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=365-90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=275\" <--- one width measures 275 miles
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let's check our answers by plugging them in the original equation.
\n" ); document.write( "Remember: \"1280=2%28l-90%29%2B2l\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1280=2%28365-90%29%2B2%28365%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1280=%282%2A365%29-%282%2A90%29%2B%282%2A365%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1280=730-180%2B730\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1280=1280\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done with the first problem!
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Second problem: \"3%28t-2%29%3E=9%28t%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "First, we need to distribute (multiply) 3 and 9 by the contents in the parenthesis. Then we will solve for t.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%28t-2%29%3E=9%28t%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3t-%283%2A2%29%3E=9t%2B%289%2A2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3t-6%3E=9t%2B18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3t-9t%3E=18%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-6t%3E=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now we need to divide by -6 on both sides of the inequality. Remember that when we multiply or divide a negative number in an inequality, the symbol changes direction. Notice the change below:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%3C=24%2F-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%3C=-4\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done with the second problem!
\n" ); document.write( "
