1. Solve for x, 5 (2x + 3) + 3 (x - 4) = 25 And one more question 2. The perimeter of a rectangle is 40m. The length of the rectangle is 4 m less than 5 times its breadth. Find the length of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 5(2x + 3) + 3(x -4) = 25

Use distributive property

5*2x + 5 *3 + 3*x - 3*4 = 25

10x + 15 + 3x - 12 = 25

Add like terms

10x + 3x +15 - 12 = 25

13x + 3 = 25

Subtract 3 form both sides

13x = 25 - 3

13x = 22

x = 22/13

x =

2) Breadth = b m

Length = 5b - 4

Perimeter of rectangle = 40 m

2*(length + breadth) = 40    { Plug in the values of breadth & length}

2* (5b - 4 + b) = 40

2 * ( 6b - 4 ) = 40  

2*6b - 2 *4 = 40

12b - 8 = 40  { add 8 to both sides}

12b - 8 + 8 = 40 + 8

   12b = 48  { divide both sides by 12}

  12b/12 = 48/12

b = 4 m

Breadth = 4m

Length = 5*4 - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16 m        

16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x+3) + 3 (x-4)= 25

10x+15+3x-12=25

(combine the like terms)

13x+3=25

13x= 22

x= 1 and 9/13

perimeter= 40m

length=5a-4

breadth=a

5a-4+a+5a-4+a= 40

12a-4-4 = 40

12a-8=40

12a= 48 a= 4cm

the breadth is 4cm, the length is 5×a-4= 20-4 =16cm

a.)the line for function b is steeper
