Perimeter of rectangle = length + length + width + width

To find the combinations, think of two numbers that each multiplied by 2 and added up to give 12 or 14

Rectangle with perimeter 12

Say we take length = 2 and width = 3
Multiply the length by 2 = 2 × 2 = 4
Multiply the width by 3 = 2 × 3 = 6
Then add the answers = 4 + 6 = 10
This doesn't give us perimeter of 12 so we can't have the combination of length = 2 and width = 3

Take length = 4 and width = 2
Perimeter = 4+4+2+2 = 12
This is the first combination we can have

Take length = 5 and width = 1
Perimeter = 5+5+1+1 = 12
This is the second combination we can have

The question doesn't specify whether or not we are limited to use only integers, but if it is, we can only have two combinations of length and width that give perimeter of 12

length = 4 and width = 2
length = 5 and width = 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rectangle with perimeter of 14

Length = 4 and width = 3
Perimeter = 4+4+3+3 = 14

Length = 5 and width = 2
Perimeter = 5+5+2+2 = 14

Length = 6 and width = 1
Perimeter = 6+6+1+1 = 14

We can have 3 different combinations of length and width

How to solve 2x-1/2=3-x
ValentinkaMS [17]
To solve for x:
Move all the terms containing "x" to the left side of the equation. Do this by adding x to both sides.

2x+x=3x. The new equation is:
3x-1/2=3

Now, move all terms not containing "x" to the right side of the equation. Do this by adding 1/2 to both sides.
3x=3+1/2 The new equation is:
3x=3 1/2, or 3.5

The final step is to isolate x. To do so, divide each side by 3.
3x/3 = 3 1/2 /3 The new equation is:
x=1 1/6
