You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
<span>Length = l</span>
<span>
Width = w</span>
<span>
Perimeter = p = 100
</span>
<span>Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)</span>
<span>
100 = 2 (4w + w)</span>
<span>
100 = 2(5w)</span>
<span>
100 = 10w</span>
<span>
100/10 = w</span>
<span>
10 = w</span>
<span>
w = 10
Area of rectangle = length * width</span>
<span>
a = l*w</span>
<span>
a = 4w*w</span>
<span>
a = 4w^2............(1)</span>
<span>
Put the value of w in (1)</span>
<span>
a = 4(10)^2</span>
<span>
a= 4(100)</span>
<span>
a = 400 yd^2</span>
C. triangle.
Pyramids are triangles to begin with you’re just making a smaller one
