Length(l)= 2w
width(w)= w

Perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 72 (simplify expression: divide each side by 2 )
P= w+l= 36 (plug in "2w" for "l")
P= w+(2w)= 36
P= 3w= 36 (divide each side by 3 to find the width)
w= 12 units

find length:
l=2w
l= 2(12)
l= 24 units

Answer:
The length of this rectangle is 24 units and the width is 12 units.

lianna [129]

Answer: Part A.  B origin    Part B. C(0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a coordinate plane, there are two axes

1) x-axis which is the horizontal axis.

2) y-axis which is the vertical axis.

The intersection of both the axes is known as the origin whose coordiantes are (0,0), i.e. at this point value of x =0 and value of y =0.

Part A: The ordered pair that represents the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis is called the <u>origin</u>.

Part B: The coordinate. Part B the coordinates of the origin are <u>(0,0)</u>.

-3x-y=-17 4x + 2 y equals 20
ExtremeBDS [4]
-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20

multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.

(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20

Now we have:

-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14

Divide -2 on both sides.

-2x = -14
/-2       /-2

x = -7.


=============================================

To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20


4x + 2y = 20

4(-7) + 2y = 20

-28 + 2y = 20

Add 28 on both sides

-28 + 2y = 20
+28          +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2      /2

y = 24.


The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.

You may have to do this by yourself :P

Anyways, if you have any questions about this topic, feel free to PM me or any other users interested. Thank you for being part of Brainly! Have a nice day!
