<span>Let x = the width
:
It says,"The length of a rectangle is 4 less than 3 times the width." write that as:
L = 3x - 4
:
If the perimeter is 40, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
:
We know: 2L + 2W = 40
:
Substitute (3x-4) for L and x for W
2(3x-4) + 2x = 40
:
6x - 8 + 2x = 40; Multiplied what's inside the brackets
:
6x + 2x = 40 + 8; do some basic algebra to find x; (added 8 to both sides)

:
8x = 48
:
x = 48/8
:
x = 6 which is the width
:
It said that L = 3x - 4, therefore:
L = 3(6) - 4
L = 18 - 4
L = 14; is the length
:
Check our solutions in the perimeter:
2(14) + 2(6) =
28 + 12 = 40</span>

Length= 3x-4
width= x
perimeter= 72 feet
2(3x-4)+2x=72
6x-8+2x=72
8x-8=72
8x=80
x=10
The width is 10 and the length is 26.

Hope this helps!

The solution is $x=-1$ and $x=-0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is $2x(x+1.5)=-1$

Multiplying the term $x+1.5$ by $2x$ , we get,

$2x^{2} +3x=-1$

Adding both sides by 1,

$2x^{2} +3x+1=0$

Taking factor, we get,

$\begin{array}{r}{x^{2}+2 x+x+1=0} \\{2 x(x+1)+1(x+1)=0} \\{(2 x+1)(x+1)=0}\end{array}$

Equating the factors to 0,

$\begin{aligned}2 x+1 &=0 \\2 x &=-1 \\x &=-\frac{1}{2}\\x&=-0.5\end{aligned}$ and $\begin{aligned}x+1 &=0 \\x &=-1\end{aligned}$

Thus, the smaller value is $x=-1$

The solution is $x=-1$ and $x=-0.5$

Which expressions go in which box?

almond37 [142]

To qualify as a polynomial, the expression in question:
* Consists of one or more terms
* Variables are only with positive whole exponents
* No variables in the denominator of any term (the coefficients however, can be fractions.)

In that case the answer is most likely:

is it easier to subtract when the numbers are written above and below each other? explain your answer

Cerrena [4.2K]

Usually its easier to subtract numbers written vertically because of the sheer fact that you're just taking away instead of adding on. If you have basic idea about adding then you should understand subtracting easier. But, because most schools teach adding first its easier for some.
