The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width. Because we don't know either the length or the width we can't solve the problem...too many unknowns. BUT we do have some information that will help with this problem. We are told that the length is 2 feet longer than the width, so we can use that: L = W+2. Now we can make the substitution into the formula along with the value for the perimeter that was given to us: 36=2(W+2) + 2W, and 36 = 2W + 4 + 2W; 36 = 4W + 4; 32 = 4W and W = 8. Now go back to where you said that the length is 2 feet longer than the width. If the width is 8, then 8+2 = 10 for the length.
Answer:
The average U.S. citizen throws away about 133.8 pounds of garbage a month.
Step-by-step explanation:
First take the total amount of trash thrown away in a year (1,606), and divide it by the number of months in a year (12).
1,606 / 12 = 133.833333
You would get 133.833333 and would round it to the nearest tenth and get 133.8.
Irrational because it can not be written as a fraction
The x,y = -6, -5. Hope this helped, and have a great day! :D

I doubled check this work, but I will update comment with a triple check
