This is your answer.
Since the sweater is now 30% off, that means it is selling for 70% of it's original price ( 100% - 30% = 70%).
Multiply the original price by 70%:
52 x 0.70 = 36.40
The sale price is $36.40
Answer: Length = 28cm
Width = 7cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be represented by x.
Since the length is four times its width. Therefore, the length would be:
= 4 × x = 4x
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as:
= 2(length + breadth)
Therefore, 2(4x + x) = 70
2(5x) = 70
10x = 70
x = 70/10
x = 7
Therefore, width = 7cm
Length = 4x = 4 × 7 = 28cm

The positive numbers will out rule the negative number. It's sort of like placing blocks over another set of blocks. :)
Area = (x - 5)(x – 7)
Area = x(x - 7) - 5(x - 7)
Area = x^2 -7x -5x + 35
Area = x^2 -12x + 35
algebraic expression that represents its area: x^2 -12x + 35
x^2 - 12x + 35 = 195
x^2 - 12x + 35 - 195 = 0
x^2 - 12x - 160 = 0
x^2 - 8x - 20x - 160 = 0
x (x + 8) - 20 (x + 8) = 0
(x + 8) (x - 20) = 0
(x + 8) = 0
(x - 20) = 0
x = - 8 (not a solution)
x = 20
hence,
length = x - 5
length = 20 - 5
length = 15 m
width = x - 7
width = 20 - 7
width = 13 m
perimeter = 2(13) + 2(15)
perimeter = 26 + 30
perimeter = 56 m²
