Answer:
4(x-1)units
Step-by-step explanation:
In a given rectangle, the length of the rectangle is the shorter side while its breadth is the longer side.
Since we have 2 lengths and 2 breadths in a rectangle, the perimeter of the rectangle will be 2L+2x where
L is the length(shorter side) and x is the breadth (longer side).
According to the question, the shorter side(L) is 2 units less than the longer side(x). Mathematically,
L = x-2
Substituting L = x-2 into the formula of perimeter of a rectangle we have,
P = 2(x-2) + 2x
P = 2x-4+2x
P = 4x-4
P = 4(x-1)
The perimeter of the rectangle will be 4(x-1)units
I can’t seem to look at the bottom two answers and the two ( A and B) are not correct. So you’re left with either C or D
Blank 1: If y is -5 when x is 2, that means the equation here is y = -2.5x. So, if x is 8, that makes the equation y = -2.5(8), which gives you -20.
Blank 2: If y is 3 when x is 1, the equation will be y = 3x. If x is 2, that will give you y = 3(2), which is 6.
Blank 3: If y is -7 when x is -21, the equation will be x = 3y. If y is 9, that will give you x = 3(9), which is 27.
Blank 4: If y is 5 when x is 4, the equation will be y = 1.25x. If y is 18, that makes the equation 18 = 1.25x, which is 14.4.
I hope this all helped!
