Let w+3 = length of rectangle
Let w = width of rectangle

42=2(w)+2(w+3)
42=2w+2w+6
42=4w+6
36=4w
9=w

9+3=12

The length is 12inches and the width is 9 inches

Simplify f+g / f-g when f(x)= x-4 / x+9 and g(x)= x-9 / x+4
steposvetlana [31]

f(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9};\ g(x)=\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}\\\\f(x)+g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}+\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)+(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2+x^2-9^2}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-16-81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\f(x)-g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}-\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)-(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2-(x^2-9^2)}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{x^2-16-x^2+81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}


\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=(f+g):(f-g)=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}:\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\cdot\dfrac{(x+9)(x+4)}{65}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{65}}
