we know that

the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

$P=2W+2L$

where

P is the perimeter of the rectangle

W is the width of the rectangle

L s the length of the rectangle

In this problem

$P=146\ units \\ W=2x\\ L=3x+3$

Substitute the values in the formula above

$P=2W+2L\\ 146=2*(2x)+2*(3x+3)\\ 73=2x+3x+3\\ 5x=70\\ x=14\ units$

$W=2x=2*14=28\ units\\ L=3x+3=3*14+3=45\ units$

therefore

the answer is

the length of the longer side of the rectangle is equal to $45\ units$

2x+2x+3x+3+3x+3=146
10x+6=146
10x=140
x=14
45 units is the longest side

Answer:

the percentage profit is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Sean paid £10 for 24 chocolate bars

He sold all 24 chocolate bars for 50p each

we need to find out the percentage profit

Since he paid £10 and sale value is (24 × 0.50) i.e. £12

So, the percentage profit is

= (£12 - £10) ÷ (£10)

= 20%

Hence, the percentage profit is 20%

Review the proof of the identity cos(π − A) = −cosA.

Annette [7]

Answer:

error in step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

well where is does the step not make sense?

remember cos(pi) = -1 and sin(pi)=0

that means step 1 is strange... it didn't distribute properly

it should have been:

cos(pi) - cos(A)

hope that helps! ^-^

The sanitation department calculated that last year each city resident produced approximately 1.643 × 103 pounds of garbage. The

bija089 [108]

Given that, according to sanitation departments report; the samount of garbage produced by 1 resident $= 1.643 \times 10^3$ pound.

Given that population of the city $= 2.61 \times 10^5$

Now we have to find how much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year.

To find that we just need to multiply the garbage produced by 1 resident with the population of the city.

Total garbage collected $= (2.61 \times 10^5 ) * (1.643 \times 10^3 )$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= (2.61*1.643) \times 10^{5+3}$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= 4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds

Hence final answer is $4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds.
