"how many different rectangles" can you draw that have a perimeter of 12, 14

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

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than a certain number of inches
Georgia [21]
So the “certain number” will be S.
Since 2width + 2length, the first part would be 2 times 2 which is 4
The length is S - 3
We then have to multiply this by 2
So it is 2(S-3) which is 2S-6
So the answer is 4+2S-6 which is 2S-2

Solve for x.<br> y=(x + a)m
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

x = y/m - a

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both side by m

y/m = x + a

subtract a from both sides

y/m - a = x

switch sides.

x = y/m - a

Hi, can someone please help, and possibly explain the answer please.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula: x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} when the equation is 0=ax^2+bx+c

The given equation is 1=-2x+3x^2+1. Let's first arrange this so its format looks like y=ax^2+bx+c:

1=-2x+3x^2+1

1=3x^2-2x+1

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

1-1=3x^2-2x+1-1\\0=3x^2-2x+0

Now, we can easily identify 3 as a, -2 as b and 0 as c. Plug these into the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}

I hope this helps!
