The perimeter of a rectangle is 16x – 6. If the length is
5x + 2, what is the width?

3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2 × 2 = 10x + 4

do this take 16x - 6

you get 6x + 2

then divide by 2 to get the answer 3x+1

w = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle formula:

P = 2(l + w)

16x - 6 = 2(5x + 2 + w)

16x - 6 = 10x + 4 + 2w

2w = 16x - 6 - 10x - 4

2w = 6x - 10

w = 3x - 5

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer

no he doesnt because "-16' is negatiive
