Geometry_Word_Problems/223774: The perimeter of a rectangle is 60cm. If the length is decreased by 5 and the width is halved, the perimeter will decrease by 20cm. What are the length and width of the original rectangle? 1 solutions Answer 167270 by drj(1380) on 2009-10-08 16:07:03 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a rectangle is 60cm. If the length is decreased by 5 and the width is halved, the perimeter will decrease by 20cm. What are the length and width of the original rectangle?
Step 1. Perimeter P means adding up all 4 sides of a rectangle.
Step 2. Let w be the original width.
Step 3. Let L be the original length.
Step 4. Let w/2 be the width cut in half
Step 5. Let L-5 be the length reduced by 5
Step 6. Then, original perimeter P0=L+L+w+w=2L+2w=60
Step 7. Then, new perimeter or after adding 10 to both sides.
Step 8. Our linear system of equation is given in Steps 6 and 7 as
Solve: We'll use substitution. After moving 2*w to the right, we get: , or . Substitute that
into another equation: and simplify:

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the dimensions of the rectangle meeting the specified conditions
the perimeter is 320 cm and the width is 20 cm less than the length
Step 1. Let L be the length
Step 2. Let L-20 be the width since it's 20 cm less than the length
Step 3. Perimeter P means adding up all 4 sides of the rectangle.
Step 4. Then, P=L+L+L-20+L-20=320 since perimeter is 320 cm.

Here, I assume you meant the slope is passing through the point (6,-1)
Write an equation for the line described as slope and passes through (6,-1). Write equation in slope-intercept form.
Step 1. The slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept b at x=0 or point (0,b). Here, the slope m=3/4.
Step 2. The slope m is given as
Step 3. Let (x1,y1)=(6,-1) or x1=6 and y1=-1. Let other point be (x2,y2)=(x,y) or x2=x and y2=y.
Step 4. Now we're given . Substituting above values and variables in the slope equation m yields the following steps:
Step 5. Multiply (x-6) to both sides to get rid of denominators on both sides of equation.
Step 6. Now add -1 to both sides of equation to solve for y.

Geometry_Word_Problems/223710: what is the length of a rectangle is twice its width if the width is increased by one meter and the length is diminished by three meters the area will be 12 square meters 1 solutions Answer 167206 by drj(1380) on 2009-10-08 12:57:27 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the length of a rectangle is twice its width if the width is increased by one meter and the length is diminished by three meters the area will be 12 square meters.
Step 1. Let w be the width
Step 2. Let 2w be the length.
Step 3. Let w+1 be the width increased by one meter.
Step 4. Let 2w-3 be the length diminished by three meters.
Step 5. The Area A=(w+1)(2w-3)=12 since the area will be 12 meters with these changed dimensions.
Step 6. Solving the equation in Step 5 will lead to a quadratic equation as follows:
Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation
Step 7. To solve, use the quadratic formula given as
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:
For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.
First, we need to compute the discriminant : .
Discriminant d=121 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .
Quadratic expression can be factored:
Again, the answer is: 3, -2.5.
