Answer:

4 units wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the table be 'w'

Given:

Perimeter of the table is, P=72

The perimeter of the rectangular table is given as the sum of all the sides of the rectangle. The sides include two lengths and two widths.

Length of the table is 8 times longer than its width. Therefore,

Length,L=8w

Now, perimeter is given as:

P=2L +2w\\P=2(8w)+2w\\P=16w+2w\\P=18w\\w=\frac{P}{18}

Now, plug in 72 for 'P' and solve for 'w'. This gives,

w=\frac{P}{18}\\\\w=\frac{72}{18}\\\\w=4

So, the table is 4 units wide.

A classmate wrote the solution to the inequality |-4x + 1| > 3 as show below. Describe and correct the error.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The last step is incorrect. When we divide both sides by a negative the inequality is flipped. The answer is x < -1/2.

Also they  omitted  the other possibility that the expression in the vertical lines could be negative.

We also have the inequality

- 4x + 1 < - 3

-4x < -4

x > 1.
